Sulmarin

At a Glance

Now simply a slum of Sheirtalar. The inhabitants are poor fisherfolk and smugglers, who live in fear of Ieirith Sprydurszace.

It was once a port city, the home of skilled gemcutters and finemetal casters. Among the prominent families were Arlyng, Brorlythynd, Calchauncz, Elkazhad, and Yurzrel.

Brammas once ruled here.

Kaalinth

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


At a Glance

The only published reference to Kaalinth appears to be the fact that Harptos once lived there. However, additional information has been gleaned from Ed Greenwood.

“Kaalinth (pronounced KAY-linth) is a now-vanished coastal fortress keep, a small city of folk inhabiting one sprawling stone castle dominated by a huge tower. It was blasted down by a dragon, who laired in the ruins, only to later be defeated by a cabal of dragon-riding wizards. In the battle, the ruined keep was almost obliberated. It has since vanished. Some controversy about its site, Amn or Tethyr (Velen?) most likely. From the surrounding notations I made, it’s clear my character heard this from a garrulous caravan merchant who had been liberally supplied with drink (by my character). We never followed this up, so its veracity is (as they say) untested . . .”

“Kaalinth was on the north coast of Velen, a little more two-thirds of the way out along that peninsula from the mainland. The land under the ruin heaved and then sank years ago, when an underground cavern (part of the uppermost Underdark that was accessible through nearby surface connections, had seen use by smugglers, and would be considered a “dungeon” by many adventurers) collapsed after a spellblast happened within it). So the ruins of Kaalinth, much tumbled, are still there, underwater, JUST offshore.”

Gauntlgrym

At a Glance

A large subterranean city built by the dwarves of Delzoun but not part of that realm.

Now abandoned by civilized folk, the ruins are inhabited by various monsters including mind flayers and ghosts. There are at least three levels of chambers; the lowest leads down into the Underdark, and the upper level is claimed by an “adventuring band” calling itself the Hargrath. The ventilation shaft was once inhabited by a recently vanished red dragon.
