The High Moor
Moor in The Western Heartlands
The High Moor is a large, monster-infested moorland of western Faerûn, created in the Crown Wars when an elven kingdom was destroyed by magic.
Wind rolls over empty heath for days in every direction, broken only by the stones of ruins older than any kingdom.
