That just leaves climate.
My initial thoughts were it could go one of two ways:
Way One: they have a strong association with Dryads and definite similarities to Satyrs and Wood Elves, all of whom have "Temperate forests" for their Environment, so caprines could have the same.
Way Two: they could enjoy frolicking in any sort of woodland, from the steamiest jungles to the frostiest tundra pinewoods, giving them "any forests" as their Environment.
Upon reflection, it's cold up in them mountains so I could see "Cold or temperate forests" as a Way Three option too.
Still not sure which I like the best.
After further thought, we gave the Goatling and Goatfolk "Any mountains" for their climate and the Ovinaurs "Any mountains, hills or plains" so giving "Any forests" for the Caprine would at least be consistent.
Alternatively, there's a decent argument for Temperate forests:
The original background for the Goatmen says "Most are known to reside in the hills and mountains east of the City States (Slagovich, Zvornik, Zagora, and Nova Svoga)" which is east of the Savage Coast.
The southern end of the Black Mountains just touches the Northern Tropics. See Thorf's
Climate Map I and Climate Map II.
The above climate maps color-index the mountain area at "Highlands", which isn't much help, but the regions on either side of it are "Semi-Arid." The tropical jungle areas are in the Orc's Head and Serpent Peninsulas, which are both further South.
The latitude suggests the Black Mountains is a temperate area that verges towards semi-tropical on the end near the Tropic, although the high altitude would presumably chill the climate a bit.
Hmm, overall I'd say any woodlands in the Black Mountains area would have to be Temperate Forest as it's about 30 to 45° latitude.
It'd have to be a good deal closer to the equator to be a Tropical Rainforest and it's nowhere near North enough to be a Taiga, so it can't be a Warm Forest or Cold Forest in 3E Environment terms.
We're probably talking dry temperate forests (either Conifers or Broadleaf & Mixed Trees) rather than Temperate Rainforests, if the adjacent Semi-Arid regions are any indication of rainfall. However, 3E does not make such distinctions.
I'm thinking a Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forest is most likely since that's the kind of woodlands Dryads prefer, and they're essential for Caprine reproduction.
