The Blaek Wilds (pronounced, "black") is the forest located to the west of the Deadlands. Several passages exist into the Deadlands, but few are known. However, over the years, creatures have been able to migrate across the mountains. This has made the Blaek Wilds one of the most dangerous places on IIo. Few civilizations come into contact with the forest, and fewer still make their homes within that dark place.
