Lylorn

Lylorn was a port city and the largest, wealthiest, and most dominant of the confederation of the Dusk Ports on Returned Abeir.

Background
The Lylar were proud people reputed as the boldest of Abeiran sailors and for easily drawing their swords for insults, imagined or real. Lylar pirates were a staple of Abeiran folklore.

Lylorn prosperity was achieved by sacrificing a large number of its own citizens to appease the green dragon Orlarrakh.

Government
Lylorn was ruled by a lord, usually an elderly and conservative male, elected by the seventeen Lylar noble houses. They elected an elder man because, should Orlarrakh eat him, at least the old man could have enjoyed a long life.

Architecture
The Lylar favored walled rooftop gardens and interior courtyards in their arch-windowed homes made of stone. Their decorated their homes with tapestries, carpets, and expensive statuettes and other luxuries.

History
In 1479 DR, Lylar merchants arrived in Luskan in hopes to arrange permanent trade routes between Returned Abeir and Faerûn, and to outmaneuver their rivals from Tarmalune, who arrived in Neverwinter with similar goals.
