    OK, I'm still relatively new to the forgoten realms, so forgive me. I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of this city or Sembia in general. Any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    [​IMG] Yhaunn

    Yhaunn is Sembia's port on the Dragon Reach, and while it is not that nation's oldest city, is the oldest retaining its original (Chondathian) name. It handles a great deal of the Dales traffic heading south into the Sea of Fallen Stars.

    Yhaunn is ruled by the Nessarch, a mayor-for-life appointed by the local merchants (of course). The current Nessarch is Andilal "the Stout" Tharimpar (NG hm F6).

    Yhaunn is laid out in a excavated quarry on the shores of Yhauntan Bay, with the wealthiest (and most livable) houses located farthest from the sea, farthest up the hill, and closest to the Roadkeep, the single gate complex that serves as castle, jail, and treasury. Buildings and caretaking deteriorate as one approaches the sea, reaching at last the slums by the docks. In Yhaunn, where people stand in the community is determined by where they sleep.

    Yhaunn has a number of temples, including ones to Tymora, Selune, Lliira, and Ilmater. The temple of Lliira has absorbed the clergy and following of the old temple of Waukeen, moved into the nicer building, and sold off its old digs at a handsome profit (always a compliment in Sembia). The buyer remains mysterious, however, and rumors that the
    structure would be turned into townhouses or merchant space have been replaced with other, darker whisperings.
