Nesmé

Nesmé is a small city located in the savage frontier of northwest Faerûn, situated on the River Surbrin, that is ruled by First Speaker Tessarin Alaurun. It has a permanent population of around 6,000 residents, but during high trade season, that number can increase as much as 50%. Most of Nesmé's economy centers around trade and the city's economic interests have invested heavily in a strong defense of it's community. South and east of the city sit the Evermoors.

The dangerous Lurkwood forest rests in the north, while the plains and hills north and west of Nesmé hold many Uthgardt barbarian tribes. As peace is not common, the military force that guards Nesmé, the Riders, have developed quickly into an effective, veteran force.

The leaders of Nesmé also encourage adventurers to rest and tarry in the area, as long as they are reasonably well-behaved. Those who are not are escorted out by the city's riders. In many ways, it is the perfect location for adventurers to establish a base; with the proximity of numerous monsters and other terrors that daily threaten the community, there is never a want of activity.
