![[Pasted image 20251222163721.png]] **Type:** Port City **Location in Faerûn:** Central **Land Region in Faerûn:** Coast of [[Cormyr]] ([[The Dragonmere]] Shore) **Kingdom or Country (if any):** Cormyr **Ruler (if any):** [[Queen Raedra Obarskyr]] **Note:** Marsember, *the* *City of Spices and Sails*; rises from the Dragonmere on half-drowned foundations of ancient elven stone and coral beds. Its lanternlit canals cast dancing colors across the water each dusk, carrying the scents of salt, saffron, cedar, and warm tidewinds. Bold-tongued sailors, gamblers, and merchants crowd its bridges and docks, where shrines to [[Tymora]] gleam with coins tossed for safe passage. Beneath its charm and ceaseless bustle lies a city that never sleeps because it cannot; the sea forever pulls at its stones, threatening to reclaim what mortals built. [[Dio Eldwynair]] passed through Marsember during his wanderings, keeping to quieter districts where beauty mingles with danger just below the waterline.
