Moonshae Isles

The Moonshae Isles are a group of islands that form a roughly circular archipelago with the Sea of Moonshae in the centre. They lie roughly 400 miles (644km) West of the region of Amn and to the South-west of The Sword Coast.

Islands
The islands that make up the Moonshae Isles are as follows:
 * Alaron
 * Gwynneth
 * Korinn Archipelago
 * Mintarn
 * Moray
 * Norland
 * Oman's Isle
 * Snowdown

Societies
The Moonshae Isles are populated mainly by the Ffolk and the Northmen, two human societies, but there are a small number of Llewyrr elves living in isolation on the islands of Alaron and Gwynneth. Dwarves and halflings also populate the Moonshae Isles although their numbers are far smaller than the human occupants.

Northmen-Ffolk Conflict
The Northmen are a violent, war-like society with little interest for or tolerance of the Ffolk's monarchical ways. This creates a continuous tension between the two human peoples, with Northmen raids on Ffolk farmsteads a common occurrence. A large majority of the Ffolk worship druidic goddess the Earthmother, an aspect of the benign goddess of agriculture, Chauntea.
