Thesk is an oligarchian country of 850,000 people, inhabited by Humans, gnomes, and orcs, with the capital of Phsant. It is economically dependant on the city-state of Telflamm.

Ashanath
Ashanath is a minor kingdom east to The Great Dale and Thesk, south to Narfell and north to Thay. Despite its fertile lands, it is at present mostly unsettled, with few resemblances of the fallen kingdom of capital city Shandaular, which was destroyed in -946 DR.

Telflamm
Telflamm is a large city state and a port near Thesk. Its approximately 23,500 inhabitants appearently are under the rule of a "merchant prince", though behind the scene it is the Shadowmasters, a thieves guild, who runs the city.
