The Naktong Moors were a tract of moorland in the land of Koryo in Kara-Tur. They lay west of the settlement of Konang Pen.[1][note 1]
Trade[]
Local folk from Konang Pen dug peat out of the moor to use as fuel.[1]
Inhabitants[]
It was said that magical beasts dwelled upon the moors, including unicorns and the notorious s'domo rhan, a giant beetle that could disguise itself as a beautiful woman. There were undead, too, such as zombies and peat mummies that had been preserved in the bogs.[1]
History[]
Huat Rhu, the famed general of Koguryo, once led his soldiers on an expedition into the Naktong Moors. They never returned. By the 14th century DR, it was rumored they still wandered the moors, now as peat mummies and zombies hunting for fresh blood.[1]
