Cormyr

Cormyr was, until recently one of the most prosperous countries of Faerûn. Now, it is a country under threat from all sides and barely holding on to order. Nobles bicker over land rights, immoral Sembian merchants are trying to gain an trading foothold, not to mention the Cult of the Dragon cell, the Zhentarim presence, the city of Shade, and threats from the ruins of Myth Drannor. Worse still, the country is still reeling from the The Goblin War and the loss of their beloved king Azoun IV. Bandits plague the roads and remnants of the orc and goblin armies infest the forests. The town of Tilverton was destroyed in battle against the Shadovar, leaving the strategically important north east of the country open to raiders wishing to invade.

The current ruler, the Steel Regent Alusair Obarskyr, has her hands full in dealing with all of these threats. Luckily she has the experienced Purple Dragon Knights and War Wizards at her disposal.

Adventuring is frowned upon without an official license but adventurers could likely lend a tremendous amount of aid to the overstretched Cormyrian military. Lady Alusair has been known to offer land in exchange for services rendered to her country so this is a place adventurers wanting to make a name for themselves tend to flock to.
