**Note:** Kara-Tur stretches across the far east of Toril, a sprawling land of ancient empires, sweeping steppes, myth-shrouded mountains, and deep-rooted traditions. Its cultures prize discipline, honor, and lineage, producing warriors, scholars, and mystics whose reputations reach even distant Faerûn. Though separated by great distances and harsh terrain, Kara-Tur maintains tenuous connections to the west through [[The Golden Way]], a trade route that carries silks, spices, and exotic lore. To most of Faerûn’s people, Kara-Tur is a land of distant wonders and legends- a place spoken of more often in stories than seen with mortal eyes.
