Tethyr

Realm

Tethyr is a kingdom of the Lands of Intrigue between Amn and Calimshan, a land of great forests and long coasts harried by the pirates of the Nelanther.

Green coastlands and vast forests stretch toward the mountains, and merchant ships keep a nervous eye on the western sea.

Overview

Tethyr is bordered by Amn to the north and Calimshan to the south, with the Sea of Swords to the west and the Omlarandin Mountains to the east. Pirates of the Nelanther have long preyed on its sea trade.

Much of the kingdom is forested, and its wood elves, above all in the Forest of Tethir, are wary of humans.
