The Moonsea region comprised the coastal lands around the sea from which it drew its name, and was considered the northernmost of the Eastern Heartlands. As unpleasant as the skies were over the waters, they were not nearly as foul as the black cloud of smoke that hung over the north shores above Melvaunt. The turbulent waters of the actual sea were beset with constant storms. To add to the despair that permeated the land, the sky itself was black from pollution, a by-product of the industry of Melvaunt. The bitter, eastern shores around Mulmaster and the Earthspur Mountains were particularly harsh, as they were constantly battered by piercing winds and heavy snowfall. People of the Moonsea were used to wearing cold-weather and other bulky clothes year-round. While not as cold as the Silver Marches to the west, the weather was significantly foul, enough to cause the seas to freeze over during the winter. The Moonsea climate could be described as harsh and cold. The terrain of the Moonsea was a veritable treasure-trove of resources, its southern and western coast lands were rich in raw resources and game, its mountains full of ore and minerals, and seas teemed with fish and crustaceans. Despite these harsh realities, its wealth of natural resources and the competitive nature of its people made it a land of opportunity to some, especially those with the will and severity to thrive. A land of hard terrain, severe climate, and tyrannical rulers, the frontier of the Moonsea was a place where only the strongest people survived-and those that did very much prided themselves on that fact.
