Overview
Murann lies on Tarseth Bay on the Sea of Swords, at the western end of the Tethir Road; on our map the Forest of Tethir lies to the south. Its wealth comes from the sea: shipbuilding, whaling and trade, which by the 14th century DR reached across the ocean to Maztica. It was later conquered by the Sothillisian Empire and became the capital of the new kingdom of Muranndin.
