Moon Fog Hills

These sinister hills rise from the eastern plains of Sunderland and form the foothills of the Matagost Range. Much of these hills are covered by the Mistwood, a light forest that is much wilder than the copses and orchards that cover the rest of The Plains. These hills are also quite rugged, with many hidden vales and isolated ridges where small villages and homesteads have existed for centuries, largely cut off from outside contact. There have always been many disappearances of travelers within the Moon Fog Hills, and not all of them are from monstrous or natural hazards.
These hills gain their name from the strange misty iridescence that rises from the treetops of the Mistwood at night to give the moon an ominous hazy halo that creates disorienting shadows beneath the trees. This strange phenomenon, combined with the lurid coloration that paints the sky during nights of the full moon, is thought to be the cause of a schizophrenic condition locally known as “moon haze.” Cases of moon haze are fortunately infrequent, but when they do occur, they often lead to madness and murder. Unbeknownst to most of the inhabitants of the region, these strange manifestations are, in fact, a direct result of an unusually high concentration of Obelisks of Chaos in the area of Malthlyn.
In addition to these unique dangers in this region, the Moon Fog Hills also have an unusually high number of openings into the Under Realms from which foul subterranean denizens have been known to come forth in the night to wreak their own brand of havoc. More than one disappearance in the region has actually been the result of the unfortunate being dragged to realms below and whatever unimaginable fate awaits them there.
