Iriaebor

Iriaebor, also known as the Overland City and the City of a Thousand Spires, was a large city in Sunset Vale in the Western Heartlands region of west Faerûn.

Geography
The city stood on a sprawling ridge above the north fork of the river Chionthar. The ridge itself was known locally as the Tor.

Language
A person from Iriaebor was known as an Iriaeben or Iriaeban.

Government
In the mid–14 century DR, Lord Bron ruled the city, and carefully followed the dictates of a forty-person voting merchant council.

Trade
Iriaebor carried the caravan trade on the Dusk Road over the rapids and rough water of the upper Chionthar river, and linked up with the Trader's Road.

Defense
The Shield of Iriaebor was the name of the armed forces of the city. They acted to both police the city and patrol the surrounding lands. They were well-armed.

Notable Locations
The city was split into three sections: the Docks, at the bottom of the ridge on the river Chionthar; the Old City, built on the ridge itself; and the Lower City, on the flat lands on top of the ridge. Space was limited in the city, so the locals simply built upwards. Many-storied towers rose from all over the city, joined to one another by bridges. The city streets were narrow and winding, covered in shadows.
