![[Pasted image 20251222162818.png]] **Type:** Country **Location in Faerûn:** Central **Land Region in Faerûn:** Inner Sea Eastern Coast **Kingdom or Country (if any):** Sembia **Note:** Sembia is a nation where coin, not crowns, rules every decision. Its cities glitter with wealth, but behind their shining facades lie rival merchant houses, cult influence, and political betrayals traded as readily as silver bars. The capital [[Ordulin]] was the beating heart of Sembian commerce, while the merchants of [[Selgaunt]] and [[Saerloon]] measured themselves constantly against the royal splendor of [[Suzail]] across the border in [[Cormyr]]. [[Dio Eldwynair]]’s time here was fraught with danger- burning chapels, desperate rescues, and the ever-present reach of misfortune. In Sembia’s markets and alleys, masks mattered more than morals, and even the wealthiest cities could not hide the cults festering beneath their polished marble.
