Proskur
Town in The Dragon Coast
Proskur is a trading city south of Cormyr's old borders, run by a council of former thieves and long known for guilds that operate in the open.
Thieves work openly in the markets under the council's blind eye, caravans roll in from the High Road, and the stalls are piled with red turnips.

Overview
Proskur lies between the southern ends of the Sunset Mountains and the Storm Horns; on our map the Storm Horns are about sixteen miles north and roads lead to Marsember, Elversult and Easting. It became part of Cormyr, though it lies south of the kingdom's traditional borders.
The city is run by a merchant council whose members were once thieves' guild members. Trade here is fair, but illegal goods are tolerated in exchange for a share, and the city was for a time a haven for Red Wizards of Thay. It gives its name to a red turnip grown nearby.
