In later Realms lore, the Pool would be revealed as a Mythal, a type of magical depository/security system first developed by the elves of Myth Drannor in their efforts to survive the demonic incursions into their homeland. This began with the lowly slums to the west of the docks (inhabited by mere hobgoblins and kobolds,) to the eventual showdown with Tyranthraxus, master of the powerful Pool of Radiance. To progress through the game, the party was expected to cleanse the city of its unsavory inhabitants, block by block. The game begins with the player's party standing on the docks of the city, having responded to one such advertisement. In order to do this, the city council had decided to advertise in other cities in the Realms in an effort to attract adventurers who could clean out the monster menace and then act as settlers or pioneers in the founding of the city. Phlan was a frontier town hoping to carve a space for itself in this rugged and monster-infested region.
Pool of Radiance introduced players to the port city of Phlan, on the New Sea of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting.
