The Moonsea
The Moonsea, originally known as the Dragon Sea, was a deep natural lake just north of Cormanthor. The Moonsea gave its name to the whole Moonsea region, as the name Moonsea applied to both the lake and the lands around the lake.
The actual Moonsea was a freshwater lake of clear, turbulent waters that shone a dark purple and were wracked by frequent storms. Its depths were rumored to connect to the Elemental Plane of Water, and even housed an island that only emerged above the surface every few years.
Geography
The Moonsea proper is a deep natural lake located north of the Dalelands and west of the Vast, connected to Sea of Fallen Stars by the shallow, swampy River Lis.
Climate
The turbulent waters of the sea were beset with constant storms. As unpleasant as the skies were over the waters, they were not nearly as foul as the black cloud of smoke that hung over the north shores above Melvaunt.
Fauna & Flora
The Moonsea lake contained an abundance of species of freshwater sea life, including giant pike, lamprey and a great number of schools of more common fish. The more dangerous denizens under the waves included aquatic trolls (known as scrags), sahuagin, merrow, and at least one gargantuan dragon turtle.
