Sembia
Realm
Sembia is a young, wealthy realm of merchant city-states on the Sea of Fallen Stars, subjugated for a century by Netheril and free again after 1487 DR.
Merchant carriages crowd the roads between rich cities, and every Sembian seems to be counting something.

Overview
Sembia lies on the north-western coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars, on many trade routes, and is governed by its merchants. The returned Netherese Empire subjugated it for more than a century; only Urmlaspyr and Daerlun kept their independence.
After the empire collapsed again in 1487 DR, Sembia became once more a wealthy, independent collection of city-states such as Selgaunt, Saerloon, Ordulin and Yhaunn.
