The Silver Marches

Realm · Luruar

The Silver Marches, or Luruar, were a confederation of cities in the North led by Silverymoon, formed to protect the North against the orc hordes of the mountains.

Walled cities and dwarven citadels keep watch from forest and mountain, always listening for the war drums of the orcs.

Overview

Luruar joined Silverymoon, Citadel Adbar, Citadel Felbarr, Everlund, Mithral Hall, Sundabar and smaller towns under the leadership of Alustriel Silverhand. Its purpose was to defend the North against the orcs of the mountains.

It lies between Anauroch to the east, the High Forest to the south, the Evermoors to the west and the Spine of the World to the north. After the fall of Sundabar in 1484 DR, the dwarven states left the league and Luruar collapsed.
