I have some things pieced together. Like local kids kept being abducted and disappearing from school. There’s a huge nest of spiders under the town. There was a necromancer there, named Ilyn Toth, who pretended to be a healer. Under that guise he kept murdering the townspeople and using them for his experiments, trying to reanimate the dead. His familiar Shovel helped him with this.

And apparently his reign of terror ended when the Dark Justiciars got him, so his apprentice’s diary claims. Toth himself says that a dark army kept raiding the town. You can also find a Selunite amulet and a statue in the town, indicating the presence of Selunites there. (Pointing to the conflict between Shar and Selune extending into act 1 as well as showcased in act 2.)

So what happened to destroy the town? Were the kids being abducted by Ilyn Toth, by spiders, or by followers of Shar just as Shadowheart was? (I’ve heard suggestions that Shadowheart actually grew up in Moonhaven, but I’m not convinced of that.)

Was the entire town destroyed by an army of Dark Justiciars (originating in the Shadow Cursed lands) who also destroyed the Selunite temple? Does this mean that Moonhaven was devastated 100 years ago, or sooner? Sharrans also came to the monastery of Lathander, but they weren’t able to destroy that one.
