Nesmé
ABOUT THE CITY
‒ The Capital of THE MAGOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF SILVERYMOON
Nesmé, a city once known for its exceptional steel, home for adventurers, as well as a gateway to the west. Those who had called it home were known for their tenacity in the face of a savage north, which the city was able to hold off for years despite the odds. However, not all things last and eventually the city fell to a combination of the local drow and orcs in the War of the Silver Marches, where none of its original population survived. Now though, Silverymoon has set its sight on restoring that gateway and sanctuary of civilization in a ferocious climate once again. Travelers from all over have come to help bring about a new age for this storied city seeking to find a new life, and new opportunities as Silverymoon attempts this ambitious project to once again signal that there is light after the darkness and that hope still remains even in the most savage of places.
