Myth Drannor
Ruin in Cormanthor, The Dalelands · the City of Song
Myth Drannor is the fallen capital of the elven realm of Cormanthyr, a city of legendary beauty and magic deep in the forest of Cormanthor, now largely a ruin.
White towers wrapped in ivy rise above the great forest, broken bridges arch over silent streets, and the air hums with old and dangerous magic.

Overview
Myth Drannor lies deep inside the forest of Cormanthor, north of the Dalelands; on our map a road leads from it toward Ordulin in Sembia. It was once the capital of Cormanthyr, a realm where elves, humans and others lived together under the protection of a powerful mythal.
The city fell in the Weeping War, and for centuries its ruins were infested by fiends. Elves from Evermeet reclaimed it in the late 14th century DR and it enjoyed a century-long renaissance under its Coronal, before falling into ruin once more.
