Great Forest of Tob

Great Forest of Tob (トブの大森林) or more commonly referred as the Tob Forest is a dense woodland area located at the southern borders of Re-Estize Kingdom.

Background
Tob Forest is currently where the Great Tomb of Nazarick is situated and serves as Ainz Ooal Gown's territory. The forest is considered to be a hazardous place where only adventurers and explorers dare tread. Frontier villages such as Carne Village act as outposts for such expeditions to gather materials and resources necessary for magic casters and other clients.

The Undead King Arc
The Tob Forest is the setting to where the Great Tomb of Nazarick was transported in the New World, specifically underneath the grasslands area in the northern part of the forest. Momonga realized the situation that he was no longer in the game world and ordered a high alert status to all the Floor Guardians. He had Mare cover the walls of Nazarick and cast an illusion spell over the cemetery to conceal its presence. After learning more about this world from the local village and assisting the kingdom's strongest warrior, Gazef, Momonga, rechristening himself as Ainz Ooal Gown, made his goal to use the forest as his base of operations and seek out his fellow guild members.

The Dark Warrior Arc
As Ainz goes out into the world under the alias of Momon, he leaves Albedo in-charge of Nazarick's defenses and has Aura explore and construct a safe house in the southern forest and recruit the local monsters that were willing to join Nazarick. Her activities force many wild demi-humans such as ogres and goblins to move out of the forest. Ainz traveling with the Swords of Darkness and Nfirea Bareare encounters the migrating demi-humans and eliminates them. He then learns of the existence of the Virtuous King of the Forest, that rules the southern part of the Tob Forest. Thinking the beast to be a unique existence and wishing to raise his status as an adventurer, Ainz sets out to capture it. He sends out Aura to draw the creature out of its lair and combat him in one-to-one. He discovers much to his disappointment the creature is merely a giant hamster. While its strength is significantly higher than the kingdom's strongest warrior it is quite inferior to the creatures Ainz commands. He easily subdues the beast with magic, and contemplates on either destroying it or enslaving it. Upon hearing its pleas for mercy and reminding Ainz of fond memories of his former guild mate, Ainz spares the King, making its his mount and pet. The Virtuous King is then rechristened as Hamsuke and becomes the first creature of the New World to join the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and with his inclusion Hamuske's territory becomes part of Ainz's.

Layout
The forest is divided into four cardinal directions, each with it's own dangers and wonders. Before Ainz Ooal Gown's domination of Tob Forest each of these areas were ruled by a creature that were regarded as myth.

Northern Forest
Home of the Evil Tree. Unofficially the boss of the northern forest in terms of power was an evil treant given the name of Zy'tl Q'ae who took refugee in the forest long ago. However it mostly stayed in hibernation so even the inhabitants of the Re-Estize Kingdom had no current awareness of its existence. Pinison Pol Perlia, the resident dryad of the forest, could in fact be called the northern forest's caretaker.

Southern Forest
Ruled by the Virtuous King of the Forest. This creature, despite having never been seen, has made a name of itself to commoners and adventurers alike. Its was regarded as a myth and is venerated as one of the strongest creatures in the entire kingdom.

Known Inhabitants
Tob Forest is home to many creatures and wild demi-humans such as goblins, ogres, trolls, and nagas. Also it hosts some heteromorphic creatures regarded as myths and legends by inhabitants of the New World.
