Telflamm

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

Telflamm was once the richest (and proudest) city of Thesk, prompting one of its leaders to break away and form his own kingdom with the nearby towns of Nyth and Culmaster. Times and fortunes change, however, and while Telflamm is still independent its supporting communities have rejoined Thesk.

Ashanath

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

Ashanath was once the realm of Ashanath, but there’s not much to see today. Just open fields and a few gently rolling hills, all covered with a short thick grass that perfectly suits the herds of wild rothé and steppe ponies that graze here. It seems well-suited to farming… except for the tornadoes.

Neighboring nations and regions include Rashemen to the east, Thay to the south, the Great Dale to the west, and Narfell to the north.

Ashane

At a Glance

Ashane — sometimes called Lake Ashane or the Lake of Tears — appears at first glance to be an unremarkable lake. It freezes in the winter and gets boggy around the edges in the summer, much like lakes in this climate should.

There is a presence in Ashane, however. Something which favors Rashemi with bountiful catches but lashes out at others.

Neighboring nations and regions include Rashemen to the east, Thay to the south, Narfell and the Great Dale to the west, and the Great Glacier to the north.

Rashemen

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

Rashemen is a nation of barbarians and witches, representative in most westerners’ minds of the intimidating eastern hinterland of Faerûn.

Rashemen is largely wilderness; you hardly realize you’re within the boundaries of a nation unless you’re within sight of a town.

Who Rules

Huhrong Thydrim Yvargg, informally known (only among his own people) as Bearkiller, rules Rashemen from Immilmar.

Who Really Rules

The Wychlaran are the real power in Rashemen. They select the Huhrong, and will remove him if he doesn’t respond satisfactorily to their directives. It has been this way since the beginning of Rashemen, and probably will be until the end.

Who Rules

No person or creature can be said to control Narfell. However, the 27 tribes are loosely united by a tribal council, which is led by the largest tribe. Currently, that’s the Harthgroth tribe. Other tribes of note include Creel, Dag Nost, and Var.

Damara

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

A nation east of the Moonsea and north of Impiltur.

Damara is a land-on-the-mend. Long ruled by selfish and destructive provincial dukes, it is being unified by a paladin and experiencing a rebirth of diplomacy, altruism, and of course piety, but also inclusionism, compassion, and the arts.

Impiltur

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

Impiltur is a holy land, led by paladins and monks of Ilmater. It’s an Inner Sea nation, on the western shores of the Easting Reach.

Neighboring nations and regions include Damara to the north, the Great Dale and Thesk to the east, and the Vast to the west. The Earthspur Mountains, on the western border, are a significant concern, as are the Pirate Isles. Finally, the western reach of the Rawlinswood has recently begun to emit hostile monsters into northern Impiltur.

Vast

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

The Vast is comprised of the eastern shore of the Dragon Reach and the River Lis, from the River Dalton in the north to the Grey Forest on the border with Impiltur and stretching inland to the Earthspur Mountains. In the past, some kingdoms have arisen here, most notably Vastar, but currently it seems none have the strength to carve their name onto the whole region.

Moonsea

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

The Moonsea —also known as the Dragon Sea— resembles a gigantic lake rather than a tiny ocean. Connections to underground oceans and the Elemental Plane of Water are thought to be found in the depths. The Moonsea is freshwater, and drained by a river (the Lis) into the Dragon Reach and the Sea of Fallen Stars.

Around this huge lake are clustered a number of significant independent city-states and minor dependent villages. No small cities retain their independence here; all are crushed unless they can defend themselves. The drive to conquer ensures that the region is constantly simmering, with shifting alliances and many secret plots contingent on this or that leader dying.
