The Moonsea
Realm · the Moonsea Lands
The Moonsea is a grim frontier region of north Faerûn around the lake of the same name, home to city-states ruled by despots and to driven, independent settlers.
Grey water stretches under a hard sky, and the cities on its shores trust nobody, least of all each other.

Overview
The Moonsea is a wild frontier without a capital, its cities often dominated by evil despots. It lies between the untamed lands to the north and the farming communities and trading powers to the south, which gives it a varied and contrasting character.
Zhentil Keep and Hillsfar stand on its shores.
