Essembra
Town in The Dalelands
Essembra was the largest town and trading centre of Battledale in the Dalelands, on the road between Sembia and the Moonsea; it was abandoned in the early 15th century DR.
Empty cottages line the forest road for a mile, and the trees of the old elven woods close in around the walled heart of the town.

Overview
Essembra lies on Rauthauvyr's Road, deep in the forest of Cormanthor, with trees hemming it in on all sides. Its walled centre and long line of roadside cottages once saw heavy traffic between Sembia and the Moonsea, but the town was abandoned early in the 15th century DR.
