Daerlun

Daerlun is a canonical Major City / Regional Capital located in the Kingdom of Cormyr, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

Daerlun declared itself a neutral independent city-state in 1439 DR, rather than be absorbed by Cormyr or stay under the direct influence of Sembia. It is the most heavily fortified city in Sembia, and boasts the tallest curtain wall on all of Toril. This 500-foot-tall (150 m) wall is made of magically hard obsidian and was erected by the Netherese Empire in 1382 DR. Patrols out of Daerlun—mounted on flying griffons or veserabs—range as far as the Vast Swamp, the Thunder Peaks, and the southern Dales.
