The Moonpoole is a large freshwater bay into which the Alamy River runs. Although the Moonpoole is not separated from the great oceans by any physical means, its water is the purest in all of Eshathar. Legend has it that the remains of Shathar's Tear, the very Tear of Creation, is contained in the Moonpoole.
Its waters have healing properties, and have long been sought by healers and clerics all over Eshathar for hundreds of years. However, ever since the Undead have taken Erchaea, which lies a stone's throw north of the Moonpoole, few are bold enough to attempt the journey. Travelers often tell tales of caravans headed for the Moonpoole that never arrived, taken by the Lich's army.
Though these legends are mostly false, and caravans continue to voyage to the Moonpoole, there have been increasing confrontations with the Undead Horde. Not all of these confrontations end in slaughter, there have been several cases where, upon making their presence known, the Horde did not attack or make any hostile actions. Scholars speculate that the pure waters of the Moonpoole act as a deterrent to the perpetually tainted Horde.
