Telpir

Telpir (also seen as Telpiir ) was an independent city on the Dragon Coast north of Turmish and east of Starmantle.

Geography
Telpir was located at the eastern tip of the Dragon Coast just past the point where the coastline turned southward. The Sea of Fallen Stars was to the north and east, the Gulthmere Forest was to the south and west. Beyond the forest to the southwest were the Mountains of the Alaoreum, and northern Turmish was due south. Just a few miles (kilometers) off the coast of Telpir was the ixitxachitl realm of Xedran Reefs. Telpir was roughly halfway between the capital city Xedras to the southeast and the heavily fortified holy city of Xyladren to the northeast. The island of Storna was also a few miles off the coast from Telpir.

Trade
Telpir was a port city and was known to trade with other cities on the Inner Sea. It also had a thriving caravan business that traveled the coastal roads in both directions. As of the, the nascent nation called the Holy Realm, founded by the Fellowship of the Purple Staff in the eastern Gulthmere, had economic ties to Telpir. The dwarves of Ironfang Deep and the Mountains of the Alaoreum also traded with merchants out of Telpir.

History
