![[Pasted image 20251222163017.png]] **Type:** City **Location in Faerûn:** Central **Land Region in Faerûn:** Inner Sea Eastern Coast **Kingdom or Country (if any):** [[Sembia]] **Ruler (if any):** Merchant Nobility **Note:** Saerloon is Sembia’s grandest surviving port- city of carved marble facades, perfumed markets, and merchant mansions that glitter beneath lanternlight. Where Ordulin fell to shadows, Saerloon endured, becoming the cultural and economic heartbeat of the nation. Yet beneath its elegance lies a hunger for profit sharper than any dagger. Artisans and thieves walk the same alleys; masked revelers share wine with assassins hired by rival guilds; and temples quietly court wealthy patrons who can shape Sembia’s future with a single purse. Rumors still murmur that shadow-tainted relics smuggled from Ordulin’s doom circulate through Saerloon’s auction houses, bringing both prosperity and quietly growing dread.
