Moonsea

The Moonsea is a region in the North of Faerûn. The region is dominated by the large titular lake Moonsea, that is connected to the Sea of Fallen Stars to the south by the River Lis. The shoreline is a wild, frontier area that is home to several city states that are dominated by despots, and the region doesn't have a capital. West of the Moonsea is the northernmost of the Dales, Teshendale, and north-west of the sea are the Dragonspine Mountains.

The most notable of the city-states are Zhentil Keep at the western end, the greatest base of operation of the once-secret society of the Zhentarim; Hillsfar lies in the southwest and Mulmaster in the southeast; Melvaunt rests on the northern side along with Phlan. The region is rich in monsters, pirates, harsh, cold terrains and ruins, the most notable being Northkeep.
