Moray is the westernmost of the
lands of the Ffolk and is thus the most
removed from the civilizing influence
of the cultures along the Sword Coast.
It is also the most untamed of the southern
isles. Trolls, orcs, goblins, and firbolg
giants may commonly be
encountered in its remote regions.
The Ffolk of Moray are rough and
uncouth, even by the standards of the
Ffolk. They are savage fighters, easily
provoked to violence, but warm and
generous to their friends.
Moray is the original home of the
moorhound. The breeding of these
great dogs is still a highly honored tradition.
Every cantrev lord keeps a large
pack of the animals, and they serve loyally
both on the hunt and at war.
The rocky and mountainous nature
of the isle is one reason it has remained
so untamed. The small harbor and
town of Moray on the northern coast is
the largest concentration of humans
anywhere on the island, and its population
barely exceeds a thousand. Most of
the other human inhabitants are scattered
along the Shannyth River valley
that cuts across the center of the island.
The northeastern tip of Moray is covered by the Trollclaw Range of mountains.
Although the altitude of this
rocky wasteland rarely exceeds 4,000
feet, and then only at the dozen or so
highest peaks, it is so marred with
sheer cliffs, loose slides of rock, narrow
gorges, and deep lakes that human travel
here is difficult. The terrain is completely
impassable to horses.
Much of the southern and eastern
regions of Moray lie under the Orcskull
Mountains. This is a larger range, no
higher than the Trollclaws, but it is not
quite so rugged. An occasional pass
crosses the range, and much of the
highlands consist of green tundra.
A few small cantrevs lie along the
southeastern coast of Moray, connected
by passes to the rest of the isle. These
communities derive a living from the
bounty of the sea. The mountains to
their backs shelter them from the
worst of the winter storms, so the
weather here is not as bad as on the rest
of the island. However, the threat of
marauding orcs, raiding down from the
Orcskull Range, is very real. More than
one of these communities has been
wiped out to the last person by the ravages
of the bestial monsters.
