Overview
Caer Moray lies on the northern coast of Moray, where the Shannyth River reaches the Sea of Moonshae, in a green and fertile valley. The town is small, more a village inside a palisade than a city, with a harbour large enough for a few warships.
It was the capital of the Ffolk kingdom of Moray until it was destroyed in the late 14th century DR. By the late 15th century, its castle on the pinnacle above the beach was a ruin, and the town served as an outpost of the high king of Callidyrr.
