Thar

[thullgrim]

What information is there out there about the wastelands of Thar from the Forgotten Realms? Besides whats in the FRCS...any help would be great.

Thanks

other than the whole "being a wasteland" thing.........I can't think of much

is there something specific you're looking for, thullgrim?

Elminster's Ecologies has one of it's booklets devoted to "The Great Gray Land of Thar" (so it has a bunch of information...)

That would be perfect, the reference was all I needed thanks. Specifically, my party has to find a caravan route to melvaunt, through the southern reaches of the wasteland. FRCS describes it as being a vast moor, but having never really seen a moor I know little about them. The inhabitants are said to be orcs and ogres, along with a variety of magical beasts but specific locations, and possible side trek plot hooks are really what I am after. I will start with Ecologies though. Thanks

The definition of a moor is simply unused open land. In this respect it could be almost anything and in FR it pretty much is. The Evermoors and the High Moor are not really marshlands that moors have become synonymous with in our world. I would definately consult Elminster's ecologies as moor can mean anything in FR as the descriptions of the Evermoors and Highmoor indicate.
