Iriaebor

Iriaebor is a canonical Major City / Regional Capital located in the Sunset Vale & Western Frontier, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

Iriaebor, also known as the Overland City and the City of a Thousand Spires, is a large city standing on a sprawling ridge above the river Chionthar, on the southern end of the Dusk Road in Sunset Vale. Iriaebor carries the caravan trade on the Dusk Road over the rapids and rough water of the upper Chionthar river, and link up with the Trader's Road. While it retains its status as an independent city-state, it remains within the realm of influence of the 15th century nation of Elturgard. And while considered to be one of the most densely-populated and economically influential locales in western Faerûn, it is believed its true potential as a great power is stymied by the long history of intrigue and conflict that emerged amongst the various mercantile groups, influential Iriaeban families and other factions.
