Marsember, the "City of Spices," is a vibrant, canal-laced port nestled on the Dragon Coast of Cormyr, sprawling across dozens of tidal islets and reclaimed marshland at the mouth of the Starwater River. Once a den of corsairs and pirates, the city has transformed into Cormyr’s second-largest port, famed for its aromatic bazaars, spired villas, and labyrinthine waterways. Bridges, both elegant and makeshift, bind the city together, while gondola-like riverboats glide through the canals bearing wares and whispers alike. Though royal forces now maintain a firm presence, remnants of its lawless past persist—Zhentarim operatives, black-market smugglers, and doppelgangers move in the margins, masked by the bustle. Watchful Purple Dragons and War Wizards patrol the spice-scented quays, but Marsember’s charm lies in its blend of opulence and intrigue, where commerce, culture, and danger entwine in every mist-laced alley.

Marsember shimmers with canal-reflected lanternlight, its tiled rooftops and merchant towers rising between narrow waterways. Bridges arch gracefully over spice-scented canals, and colorful boats drift past markets draped in silks and banners. Mist curls above moss-covered stone, where noble estates and shadowed alleys coexist in humid harmony, framed by the ever-present gleam of the Starwater River.
