The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

Berdusk, the "Jewel of the Vale," stands as a bustling trade hub in the Western Heartlands, straddling the Uldoon Trail and the River Chionthar. Its tall, steep-roofed stone buildings, clustered tightly within sturdy walls, reflect its cold climate, aided by a sophisticated sewage system that keeps streets clean. Within, artisans and merchants thrive, producing fine furniture, tools, and decorative goods, fueling the city's prosperity. Ruling from the city's heart is High Lady Lashantha Duarn, guided by the wisdom of the Harpers, who maintain their western stronghold at Twilight Hall. The city's social fabric is woven with the influence of the "First Folk"—wealthy houses like Calanthal, Myrmrast, Hardomeir, Quarlagast, and Spaeruthal—who hold significant sway in governance. As a key part of Elturgard, Berdusk balances commerce and diplomacy, making it a vital point in the region.
