Yhaunn (pronounced: /əˈhɔːn/ uh-HAWN[4]) was a coastal city of Sembia built on an old quarry site.[5]
Climate
Summer nights in Yhaunn were especially hot.[6]
History
The city was built on the site of an ancient quarry.[1] Many large buildings in Alaghôn, Cimbar, Saerloon, Selgaunt, Westgate, and Velprintalar were built with Yhauntan stone.[2]
In 1385 DR, during the Spellplague. the cliffs that surrounded the city broke away and became earthmotes, in the process killing tens of thousands of inhabitants.[3]
The shadovar masters of Sembia helped the city recover and by 1479 DR it had even more residents than before the Spellplague.[3]
