The Lonely Moor

The Lonely Moor was an area of boggy land northwest of Evereska in the Western Heartlands of Faerûn. It was occupied by bands of gnolls and bugbears.

History

Some time during the mid-14th century DR, a scholar named Bookman Thomas sought to survey the Lonely Moor to uncover more information about long-dead sorcerer from Netheril.

In the Year of Lightning Storms, 1374 DR, a great battle took place in the moor, between an army of Daemonfey and the elves of Evereska and Evermeet. The battle turned in favor of the elves when Araevin Teshurr restored the mythal at Myth Glaurach to normal, and the demons on the battlefield were instantaneously un-summoned from the field.

Notable locations

Inhabitants

In addition to the monstrous humanoids the Lonely Moor was home to smaller scavengers like jackals and hyenas.
