Moonsea

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

The Moonsea —also known as the Dragon Sea— resembles a gigantic lake rather than a tiny ocean. Connections to underground oceans and the Elemental Plane of Water are thought to be found in the depths. The Moonsea is freshwater, and drained by a river (the Lis) into the Dragon Reach and the Sea of Fallen Stars.

Around this huge lake are clustered a number of significant independent city-states and minor dependent villages. No small cities retain their independence here; all are crushed unless they can defend themselves. The drive to conquer ensures that the region is constantly simmering, with shifting alliances and many secret plots contingent on this or that leader dying.
