Thar (Forgotten Realms)

Thar is a location on Faerûn, a fictional continent, the primary setting of the Forgotten Realms.

Description

Thar, also known as the Great Gray Land, is a rocky, broken moor stretching for hundreds of miles with a harsh climate north of the Moonsea. It is inhabited by wild tribes of humanoids such as orcs who are constantly at war with one another.

Raids

The many humanoid tribes of Thar carry out attacks on caravans heading to or from Glister, the camps in the Galenas foothills or villages in the Stojanow Vale. In an attempt to keep them in check and bring stability to the area, lords and merchants have been known to create agreements with the tribes to encourage them not to attack, but these agreements break down easily. Scouts, hired adventuring companies and the barbarians of the Ride also venture into Thar to hunt these tribes and destroy any creatures they encounter.

Organizations

Several organisations exist amongst the tribes of Thar, including the Burning Daggers, fanatical orc worshipers of Kossuth, the Skullsmashers, a fierce tribe of ogres, and the Red Claws, a goblinoid horde.

Thar (river)

The Thar is a small river of France, in the administrative region Basse-Normandie, département de la Manche. It is only 25 km (16 mi) long, rising to the east of La Haye-Pesnel and emptying into the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel, in the English Channel.

In the Middle Ages the Thar formed the traditional boundary between the Cotentin to the north and the Avranchin to the south.
