Overview
Suzail lies on the northern shore of the Lake of Dragons, the great western arm of the Sea of Fallen Stars. Named after Suzara, mother of the first Obarskyr king, it is Cormyr's largest city and its main port, home to the royal palace, the royal court and the houses of the kingdom's nobility.
The city is known for order and prosperity. The Purple Dragons, Cormyr's soldiers, keep the peace, and the War Wizards watch over the use of magic in the kingdom.
The kingdom
Cormyr, the Forest Kingdom, is one of the oldest and most stable human realms of Faerûn. It has survived wars with goblinoids, dragons, Sembia and Netheril, and its crown remains in the hands of the Obarskyr dynasty.
