Ordulin

From Forgotten Realms Wiki

Ordulin is the former capital of Sembia but was destroyed in a planar rift summoned by Elyril, one of Shar's followers.[1] There is a constant ominous cloud above the city along with a lone earthmote with a Shadovar citadel resting atop it.[2]

[edit] History

The land that Ordulin now sits on is one of the first human settlements in the interior Heartlands. Then known as Moondale, and considered part of the Dalelands, it was founded just after the raising of the Standing Stone. By 700 DR Moondale was farming settlement of clear land. About 300 years ago, the nation of Sembia annexed Moondale and renamed it Ordulin.[3] Ordulin was chosen as Sembia's capital as it was free of the interference of the older Sembian cites.[4]
