Yartar

Yartar (pronounced: /ˈjɑːrtær/ YAR-tarr) was a prosperous and increasingly crowded fortified city located in the Dessarin Valley region of the Savage Frontier. It was a member city of the Lords' Alliance, and held a number of allies throughout the North. The city was alive and full of trade, day and night. Competing trade caravans and trade barges loaded for bear passed through its walls at all hours. Beyond the hustle and bustle of honest citizens and traveling merchants was an unsavory criminal element, whose schemes and power hampered the city's ability to become one of the truly influential city-states of Faerûn.
