The Forest-Lords of Dihad is a 1982 role-playing game supplement published by Gamelords for The Fantasy Trip .
The Forest-Lords of Dihad is a supplement in which the heavily forested nation of Dihad is detailed, as are its repeated wars with neighboring Muipoco. [1]
This campaign setting supplement details The Land Beyond the Mountains, a wooded wilderness region. It provides information on four counties, several villages, short adventure scenarios, encounters, and rules for hunting, trapping, and logging. [2]
The Forest-Lords of Dihad was written by Richard Meyer and art by Wallace Miller and published by Gamelords in 1982 as a 32-page book. [2]
Shannon Appelcline noted that by the early 1980s, Howard Thompson "was already looking to produce more group-oriented products for TFT. In 1982 he signed an agreement with RPG publisher Gamelords to create a campaign world for TFT. Metagaming soon published Gamelords's first two campaign books, The Forest-Lords of Dihad (1982) and The Warrior-Lords of Darok (1982). However Thompson terminated this agreement before any further work was done and two later books that were originally intended for TFT were instead published by Gamelords as supplements for their own Thieves' Guild game system."

Anders Swenson reviewed The Warrior-Lords of Darok and The Forest-Lords of Dihad for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "these are two solid products which should find their way into the libraries of most TFT gamemasters, and many others who collect well-done scenarios." [1]
Steve Woodcock reviewed The Forest-Lords of Dihad for Fantasy Gamer magazine and stated that "Forest Lords of Dihad is a great background for a TFT campaign. Highly recommended for all TFT FMs (if you can still find it)." [4]
