Overview

Highmoon lies in Deepingdale at the western edge of the forest of Cormanthor. Deepingdale has a long tradition of friendship with the elves: after Silverymoon, Highmoon is said to be the best-integrated community of humans, elves and half-elves in Faerûn, and it is often full of adventurers and travellers from Cormyr and Sembia.
