Myth Lharast

Myth Lharast, also referred to as Myth Lhahast, was a demiplane that existed beyond the world of Toril. For over three centuries, the former mythal city of the elves existed as the center of Selûnite worship within Amn in the Lands of Intrigue.

Description
Myth Lharast appeared as a spectral city, featuring splendid walls and seven Star Spires that glistened in the moonlight.

As a demiplane, it was largely only accessible on nights where the moon of Selûne was full. However there did also exist a fractured portal to Myth Lharast, which was connected to the nexus of Abarat's Folly.

Geography
According to ancient accounts, for former location of Myth Lharast would be somewhere approximately west of the Gem Road at the bend of the Splendarrllur river in Amn.

Trade
The city once housed numerous temples and businesses each dedicated to the Moonmaiden.

Elven craftspeople from Myth Lharast utilized distinct designs in their work that featured distinct angular geometry.

Defenses
The city's mythal was imbued with "symbols of power" that actually attracted faithful of Selûne and any other moon-worshippers. It was later altered by one of its creators to also attract benevolent lycanthropes.

It was one of the few mythals to be crafted by n'tel'quess, or non-elven people.

History
Myth Lharast was founded in the, as a place where Selûnites could worship independently, free from the strict orthodoxy of Minsorran, Some years later, the mythal was altered by Syri Mhaal to attract benevolent lycanthropes, and it became more of a refuge for the moon-worshipping shapechangers. Mhaal sought to rally the lycanthrope army to conquer for himself the Shoon Imperium.

Unfortunately the benevolence and serenity of its founding did not endure. In the, a terrible battle broke out in the city between Syri and his lycanthropes, and the malevolent wizards of the Cowled Conjurers, who allied themselves with demiliches and gargoyles.

Selûne herself interceded in the conflict. As the evil invaders took control of Myth Lharast, bolts of lightning shot down from the moon, and Selûne stripped the city from the face of Faerûn and transformed into a demiplane. Other scholars postulate this shift was caused by an altering of the city's mythal.

In either case, Syri Mhaal and his lycanthropes remained trapped with Myth Lharast, as did their descendants in the generations that followed.. Selûne's true faithful sought to seize it back in their goddess' name.

Accounts and descriptions of the city were subsequently lost over time. Only devout Selûnite priests could glean its true location in the Realms.

Rumors & Legends
Some blamed the fall of Myth Lharast on its original founders, saying they were punished for straying too far from 'true' Selûnite teachings.
