Near Wentzel Fen, not far from the road to Cranee, East of the Questarius River and North of Odlucia and Marsh Gibbon, and West of Cranee lies the great Umbo Moor. Called the Great Moor by the few locals, this vast marshy landscape is the site of the alleged disappearance of Edvard von Craghelm, the most famous Anaximancer of all time.
Famous not only for its proximity to the dangerous Wentzel Fen, but also for being the first moor to be studied by Phylostarus in his great Stone of Wisdom survey, where he found that over two thirds of the moors of Ghyll have a Stone of Wisdom. Umbo Moor is a very popular spot with the Pinky Gazers, though, oddly enough, not with any of the Perky Gazers. The Moor is an area of outstanding natural beauty that enhances the wonder of any mooning.
Umbo Moor is most amous, however, for her place in 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.
