Lands of Intrigue

Prior to the Spellplague, the Forest of Mir was a dense forest that covered the southern highlands of Tethyr and continued south over the Marching Mountains and into Calimshan.

Bormton was a village in Amn , lying between Trademeet and the Small Teeth mountains.

Amn ( pronounced : / ɔː m / awm ), also known as the Merchant's Domain , was a tremendously wealthy nation in West Faerûn . Prior to the Spellplague and the continent's disappearance, Amn held colonies far away in Maztica . Post-Spellplague it still controlled important trade routes to Calimshan and Baldur's Gate as well as colonial ports in the Moonshaes and Chult . Its population, mostly human with a large minority population of halflings , was historically in the range of 3 million. The country's natural resources and wealth, combined with its mercantile nature led Amn to become one of the most important and influential trading centers throughout Faerûn . The crowning jewel of this powerful state was the capital city of Athkatla , founded in 100 DR (0 in the rarely-used Amnian calendar ) and often known as the "City of Coin."

Calimshan ( pronounced : /ˈ k ɑː l ɪ m ʃ ɑː n / CAL-im-shan ) was a nation that covered the southern corner of west Faerûn , including the Calim Desert and the Spider Swamp . Successor of Coramshan , Calimshan's capital was the sprawling port-city of Calimport , home to emperor Syl-Pasha Ralan el Pesarkhal and the many powerful wealthy nobles called pashas . Other major cities included Memnon and the coastal city of Schamedar .
