Luruar, more commonly known as the Silver Marches, is a federation of cities in the north of Faerûn, under the leadership of Alustriel Silverhand, former ruler of Silverymoon. It consists of Silverymoon, Citadel Adbar, Deadsnows, Jalanthar, Quaervarr, Citadel Felbarr, Everlund, Mithral Hall, and Sundabar, and its goal is to protect the North against the growing horde of orcs in the mountains.^[1] The nation is also a member of the Lords' Alliance.^[2]

[edit] Major Geographical Features

[edit] Forests

Cold Wood 

A pine, birch and spruce forest that has remained unmarked by civilized settlers or foresters. While home to some of the Uthgardt tribes, orcs and ettins have also been known to roam the woods.^[1]

Moonwood 

This larde forest north of Silverymoon is free of goblinoid races. This is due to the large population of lycanthropes, many of whom are members of the People of the Black Blood.^[1]

[edit] Mountains

Nether Mountains 

There are many monsters that spread from these mountain ranges to as far out as Silverymoon.^[1]

Rauvin Mountains 

The River Rauvin passes through the peaks in a steep-sided, mist-filled gorge of roaring white water. There is a perilous trail in the gorge that runs through the Dead Orc Pass to the north side of the Rauvin that contains a strong and aggressive orc tribe.^[1]

Everlund

A walled city that is home to several races and is ruled by the Council of Six Elders.^[3]

Jalanthar

Many human trackers, hunters, guides and trappers can be found in this small town. Many of whom are experts of dealing with the orcs, most often in a violent manner.^[3]

Once one of the greatest shield dwarf holds, it still is home to their kin.^[3]

Quaervarr

This small woodland town is comprised of humans and half-elves.^[3]
