AT A GLANCE: The High Moor is a vast,
rocky wasteland rising to a gorgescarred
plateau cloaked in grass and
scrub trees.

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The Moor is
often shrouded in mist, and is the home
to many trolls and bugbears, as well as
goblin races. The monstrous inhabitants
often raid the roads, so that merchants often
collect in large caravans
and hire additional guards,
and The Way Inn (q.v.) maintains a permanent
force of well-armed defenders. The soil
of the Moor is too thin for farming and
its rock (mostly granite) too poor in
valuable ores to support permanent settlements;
the barbarian humans found
in these lands depend on herding sheep
and goats and overland trading for
their livelihoods
