Though Emberwood was founded by the owlbears, the city itself is incredibly accessible to most races and species that inhabit Falanar. Thanks to their mastery of medicine, the residents of Emberwood are mindful not only of the different sizes and limbs that might be found upon a visitor, but also their weaknesses, injuries, and inabilities. It is common to find ramps, ropes, and bridges secured along common paths leading to treehouse buildings, door-knobs both high and low for those who struggle to reach, and comfortable benches, chairs, pillows, and blankets laid out throughout the city for those requiring frequent rests.

Most visitors to Emberwood are greeted with the warmth and hospitality characteristic to its residents. It is common for those suffering from long-term ailments to seek refuge and treatment in the Owlbear City, and most of Emberwood's exports are medicinal in nature. 

Emberwood is notably home to the Order of the Silver Leaf, an organization of forest wardens, a shield that guards the woodland realms of man and beast.
