The Vilhon Reach

The Vilhon Reach is a region named after an arm of the Sea of Fallen Stars, the site of great empires and great disasters.

Old ruins line a sea reshaped by elven magic, and the cities of the Reach are rich, proud and wary of each other.

Overview

The waters of the Vilhon Reach got their present shape from elven High Magic, which summoned a vast wave that destroyed two empires, Jhaamdath and Aryselmalyr. Much later, the Spellplague hit the region hard.

Hlondeth, the City of Serpents, stands at its western end on our map.
