Overview
Ormath lies on the south-eastern edge of the Shining Plains, built around a crossroads on the road to Hlondeth. Of the cities of the plains, it is the quickest to quarrel, and the saying “Ormath on the warpath” is common in the region.
In 1372 DR it was ruled by Lord Quwen, who preferred blades to politics and rode with his patrols. Its large temple of Silvanus helps keep the city's water and sewers clean.
