Almraiven

Almraiven sat on the shore of the Shining Sea and was the only remaining human city in Calimshan around 1479 DR.

History
Founded around -5521 DR, the city weathered countless natural and man-made disasters and was rebuilt many times. Almraiven was an important port city, hosting the Calimshan's largest shopbuilding facilities. The city was rich of mercantile and guilds activity, and it's been the regional main center for magical studies for over three thousand years. The city was relatively unscathed by the Spellplague and the city's mages were able to fend off genasi attacks during their rebellion.

Government
The archmage Acham el Jhotos ruled Almraiven for many years and worked tirelessly to protect the city from djinn and efreet threats. Slavery was legal in Almraiven but el Jhotos was an abolitionist who sought to eventually free all slaves in Calimshan.
