Hollowshade Moor

Trees populate this large, open land in a density comparable to what one might find on the swamps of Norrath. The eternal night sky is visible through the sparse canopy and Norrath itself is visible upon the horizon. Several streams that originate in Tenebrous Peaks feed the moor from the north.

The moor is home to the owlbears who have a community in the southeast corner of the region. In the side of a large hill is the owlbears' cave. Piles of debris and the bones of their prey lie to either side of the cave mouth. Spacious tunnels lead to several cavernous rooms – the dens of the owlbear. It is said that the owlbears have hoarded the precious items of their victims in these rooms, but few have survived a journey into these caves to speak of such things in absolute truth.

The Vah Shir have built a road of acrylia going from Shar Vhal to the Grimling Forest, but due to environmental factors, parts of it are often submerged.

In the mountains to the northeast are jagged paths that wind through the rocky terrain. This path leads to a hidden cave of the grimlings. Following this cavern will take an adventurer to the subterranean area of the Grimling Forest.

The moor turns into a lush forest near the northern border of the region. In this part of the forest at the base of the mountains, several corpses, skeletons, and other biological debris litter the ground – remnants of owlbears and other creatures devoured by the moor.

In the northeast area, under the roots of a large tree, is the base of operation for a group of smugglers from Shadow Haven. These smugglers trust no one unless they have shown their allegiance to specific organizations within Shadow Haven, in which case they can use this base to buy and sell goods, and obtain various tasks.
