Black Moor (County)

Black Moor (Averbain: Blaec Mor), sometimes called County Black Moor, is one of the smaller counties in Averbay. Black Moor was founded in 887 (Year of the New Dawn) by King Dorecus I, who founded the kingdom itself and set up many other counties. Black Moor borders Ilptare to the west, Narshorl to the south and Tamshire to the south-east

Black Moor was originally governed by House Ouesruck, who resided in the town of Eranton. After the Averbain Civil War, King Marcius appointed House Kosain to govern the county.

Black Moor itself is dominated by the Black Moor, which the county was named after. In the Black Moor lived wild tribes of Giants and Goblins. To the south-east of the Black Moor is the Kagnin Woods, the town of Eranton lay just west of these woods, and south of it were the borders with Tamshire. Inside these woods lived Ogres and some accounts of trolls have been found in archives.
