Crimmor

Crimmor, also known as the City of Caravans or the Caravan Capital of Amn, was a fortified city and the focal point of practically all trades between the Sword Coast North and the Lands of Intrigue. The constant stream of travelers made it the most diverse Amnian city.

Built on the southern shore of the Alandor River, Crimmor was a city constantly bustling with life. A strong stink of ox dung filled the streets, courtesy of the unusual quantity of wagons roaming them. Caravaneers set camp outside of the city, filling the southern lands with tents and cattle.

Trade Routes

Alandor River

Flowing from Lake Weng to the Sea of Swords. Trade goods were loaded on barges towed up and down the river by horses and mules. On the northern side of the city, docks allowed those barges to load and unload their cargo and were used by local children as swimming platforms.

Eshpurta Road

Going eastwards, this was the most important east-west road in northern Amn. Along this road were warehouses, tanneries, paddocks and slaughterhouses.

River Road

Going west alongside the Alandor river, this road led to the capital city of Athkatla. Riding along this road, one would find estates of wealthy Amnians until half a day away from the city.

Trade Way

Extending in both directions, this major trading route led to both Baldur's Gate to the north and Calimport to the south (passing through Purskul). The section of the Trade Way going south was called the Orc Road by the inhabitants, whereas the northern section leading to Nashkel was sometimes referred to as the Bitten Road.

Traveling towards the north was difficult, as the soft river bottom made it hard to build bridges. Travelers had to either pay a barge to get them on the other side, or take a long detour (usually towards the east).
