Faerûnian Geography & Related.

Dear Journal,

Here's a quick run-down of Faerûnian Geography, at least of the parts that draw my attention the most.

Narfell lies in the Northeastern Part of Faerûn, as does Damara.

The Unapproachable East is a border region between the northeast Faerûn and east Faerûn.

Aglarond was a magocratic state in the southwestern-most part of the Unapproachable East with its capital at Veltalar. Most of its land was covered by the Yuirwood. Filled with magic and mystery, it was ruled by one of the most potent spellcasters of the Realms...

Northeast Faerûn is a remote area that begins in the cold, forbidding lands along the great ice sheets and continues south toward the northeastern shores of the Sea of Fallen Stars. It is bordered on the west by the mountain-hemmed land of Vaasa and stretches east to the vast steppes of the Hordelands.

Faerûn is a major continent on the planet of Abeir-Toril.

To the east of Faerûn, is border of a vast regions of steppe from Oriental lands of
Kara-Tur: Archipelago of Kozakura, Wa Empire, Shou Lung with Great Dragonwall, and other... i know that Ruri Hasegawa came to Narfell from Kozakura.

South of the Faerûn, separated by the Great Sea, is the sub-tropical land of Zakhara, Land of Fate.

The western part of Faerûn includes Waterdeep, City of Splendors, home of Khelben 'Blackstaff' Arunsun, as far as i can remember. It's where Attentus filius Versutus was raised, in a Tower located near the City. i am not sure where Wethrillina filia Aelen was raised, but i know she had Unseelie Fey blood, blue skin and tormented past.

The nations south of Waterdeep and north of the Shining Sea, that border along the Sea of Swords. The west includes Moonshaes (Moonshae Isles) and Nelanther Isles.

Interior lands of Faerûn lie along the irregular western coastline of the Sea of Fallen Stars. In the north the Dragonmere arm of the sea extends far to the west, ending close to the Western Heartlands. To the south, the Vilhon Reach forms a second arm leading to the southwest. It's where we can find Cormyr, Chondath & other. In Cormyr, the city of Shade and the ruins of Myth Drannor both posed a threat.

North Faerûn stretches from the wide Anauroch desert in the west to the eastern edge of the inland Moonsea, in the northern region of Faerûn. It is a region of contrasts, with the forested Dalelands, the wastes of Anauroch, the coastline of the Moonsea, and the bitterly cold steppes of The Ride.

Located in Anauroch, North Faerûn, the magocracy of Netheril was one of the ancient human empires of Faerûn. Netheril was also the home of the most powerful wizard who ever walked on Faerûn, Karsus. The Netherese also created powerful artifacts known as mythallars, which allow mundane objects to become magical, dramatically changing the face of the Netheril Empire (or better said the face of the upper side of the empire, as Netheril eventually became twofold: the "have", High Netherese, and the "have not", low Netherese)...

... i should also read about Other Magical Empires of Old, when i have time... and about Elven Vampire Anabelle (a Dead Rose, she was Druidess before her Vampiric Embrace), Elven Druidess Elrien who took over care of Anabelle's Bear Companion 'Sherna', Elven Wizard Delawen, & Elven Cleric and Mage (as far as i can find information, so perhaps it's true and accurate), Luna Seleren;

... i know that Sherna, Anabelle & Elrien didn't respect Norwick Laws too much, often taking bear into within of the Town's Walls...

... Luna Seleren loved stories and was a great Storyteller, and almost an Attentus' lover at one point in their lives.

P.S. Mage is abstract term when it comes to magic-user description, both Wizards, Sorcerers and many other are considered 'Mages' by many. An 'Arcanist' is even broader term, for it includes Bards and many other.
