Malaxer

Malaxer was a large town in Lapaliiya in southwest Faerûn in the mid–14 century DR.

Geography
It stood on the Lapal Way, between Sammaresh and Abreon, and north of the Mhair Jungles.

Government & Religion
The leader of the city was titled High Lapalyth, which was equivalent to a baron. Circa 1373 DR, this was the ranger Tormar o' the Axe.

The civic deity of Malaxer was Silvanus.

Population
The town had a population of 4103 in 1373 DR, including a small number of wild dwarves who'd been forced to leave their homelands for various reasons.

Activities
Malaxer was home to hunters and woodcutters who braved the northern fringe of the Mhair Jungles, as well as expert guides who'd hire themselves out. In fact, the highest concentration of this profession in Lapaliiya was here. Malaxer was the starting point for the majority of expeditions into yuan-ti territory, but a good number of guides available were actually yuan-ti agents in disguise, looking out for adventurers who threatened the serpentfolk or might have things of interest to them.
