Ghyll:Umbo Moor

Dib! --Doctor Phineas Crank 00:23, 12 Mar 2005 (EST)

Near Wntzel Fen, not far from the road to Cranee. East of the Questarius River and North of Odlucia. North of Marsh Gibbon and West of Cranee. Famous not only for its proximity to the dangerous Wentzel Fen, but also for being the first moor to be surveyed by Phylostarus in his great Stone of Wisdom survey, where he found that over two thirds of the moors of Ghyll has a Stone of Wisdom. Umbo Moor is a very popular spot with the Pinky Gazers, an area of outstanding natural beauty that enhances the wonder of the mooning. Site of the alleged disappearance of Edvard von Craghelm, the most famous Anaximancer of all time.

Significant moments in The Tarkherk Corps history: Battle of Umbo Moor. On the 2nd of Gomin -58 EC, Mox Elder, the Mildly Impressive Commandant of the troops stationed there saw, as he described, "a beautiful white lady, shimmering just up on the hill." When nudged from his reverie by an incredible crackle and flash of light (now attributed as one of the earliest field tests of what would eventually become Ball Lightning Liqueur), he recalled her "mandibles began moving soundlessly but urgently, and she beckoned me to follow." After his court-martial in -56 EC, Mox Elder had no qualms about speaking publicly, claiming the woman saved him and "reinvigorated his belief in the sanctity of life." Suffice it to say, no woman was ever found that matched his description.
