I'm supposed to do a project for one of my classes (foreign language) about my ideal comunity. I decided to do a city/area from FR, but then I came upon the ulitmate question: What actualy *WAS* my favorite place?  They're all great. What's yours and why? (True to my half-elven character, I chose Elventree for its temples to Mielikki and Mystra. The thought of a forest home w/ other half-elves helped too. ) |

 I love the fact that the females in most Drow cities have all the power, and the males have to do whatever they want them to.  |

Actually keeping with the Drow city theme, the recent exposure the city of Ched Nasad has received has made quite an impression on me. I have always been interested in the intricacies of Drow architecture, and while Menzoberranzan has probably always been my favorite Drow city, Ched Nasad would seem to come in at a close second.
May your learning be free and unfettered

Yes, the drow do have an interesting sense of asthetics, and I'd love to see city like that. Spiderweb bridges, magical light sculptures, mansions carved out of giant rock formations.
Wouldn't want to stay with the inhabitants for very long. Not even as the persona I use here. They couldn't do much against a mithril dragon sorcerer-mage (and epic-level in both classes -- hey, it's an online persona, I don't have to be realistic!  ) but the people wouldn't be very friendly.
Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to stay overnight. |

Menzoberranzan.  Call me biased, but I just think that it's a great city, even tho Malice doesn't have many happy memories there... |

*gasp!* Oh okay!!! That place. the place with the really nice music that I have yet to get past!   (That's only because I haven't played the game in so long. I think I was stuck on all the caves and such with the skeletons and the tundra yeti....I can't remember for sure. I need to go back and play it again. *idea* spring break is this week...heh...I can play it then! ) |

Heh. Actually I believe it is just south of the Spine of the World. Almost embedded into the Spine itself. You can find a picture of it here.

An entire city embedded into the side of a great oak tree. Not very big, but still cool. |

My favs personally are Waterdeep, Everaska, Evermeet, and the Underdark. Though most of my FR characters have never been to Evermeet (I've read some things about it...I have yet to read Evermeet: Island of the Elves though) I still think its a cool place. Most of my characters reside either in Waterdeep or the Underdark. One went to Everaska for a mission but she never lived there. (I think that was Talaylie...I don't remember for sure. I'll have to check her profile again....). Athkatla is all right...I wouldn't choose that one permanently though (my opinion). Suldanesselar is also a nice place too. Its heavily guarded by elven enchantments though...but its a beautiful city none-the-less. Leave it to me to favor the elven cities and such! lol. Most of these I'd choose mainly because of my characters. For the most part, they either have lived or have been on a mission to these cities. I just kind of attached to some as ideal places for my fanfics. Like Talaylie is mainly positioned in Waterdeep and Everaska. (I think she also goes to Evermeet once or twice...I can't remember that for sure. its been a while since I've worked or even looked at her story).
And I've heard of Kuldahar...but I can't remember what it is exactly.... |

Where's Kuldahar? I don't believe I've ever heard of it. I guess it wasn't in any novels that I've read. |

Call me cliche but i think Ten Towns is quite an interesting settlement. The place for rogues among rogues. Just the everyday happenings and dilemmas they face gives the collection of towns such character. Kuldahar is also one of my favorites. A giant tree housing hundreds of people lead by druids. Pretty sweet. |

Silverymoon, and my favourite region is the north. Though I often run campaigns in other regions depending on the flavor I want for an adventure.

My favorite place is Shadowdale, my character's hometown. I just loved it since the first time I read "Shadowdale" the first book of the Avatar Series. |

Favorite City: I'd have to say Silverymoon because of my characters' ties to Alustriel and the Harpers there. Also because it's the only city in the Realms that has the same mind set as Myth Drannor had - to unite all races in peace and harmony. |

I have to say Waterdeep, nothing can quite match the wealth of detail for that city.
Though if the truth be known I do have a fondness for Myth Drannor after its fall. After all Im an adventurer and a glutton for punishment!!

I would say somewhere around IceWind Dale because it's pretty much isolated up there and you don't have to bother with anything. |

This is a tough one. I'm currently torn between two options. Waterdeep, and Luskan. I havn'e the faintest Idea why I like Luskan, mabey its just the way it sounds. |

I don't quite recall the name of the city but it's the underdark city of the Drueger. When drizzt passes though on his way to the surface is the only time i have ever heard of it but it sounded pretty sweet from the brief discription in that book.

Memnon is my favorite city because it is a thief's paradise |

Favorite City (Current) Waterdeep : The FR version of the City that Never Sleeps. Where anything can be had for a price (usually an astronomical one but what can you do?), and there is always plenty of trouble to get into. Not to mention the close proximity to Undermountain.
Favrorite City- (fallen) Myth Drannor: The dream realized all civilized peoples of Faerun living in harmony together. That is truly something to admire. |

I always kind of liked Arabel, mainly for they way the Royal Wizards of Cormyr regarded it (seceding and rebelling every hundred years) and the Portrayals of its Ruling Lords.
Would like to see more on Aglarond in general and Velprintalar specifically to see what life under the Witch-Queen is like. When shes there that is :) |

Favorite city: Waterdeep, Suzail (yes BIG cities!)
Favorite region: North of sea of Fallen stars (Tantras, Cormyr, Sembia)
Favorite lost cities and empire: Myth Drannor in first and just just after Netheril

this a long subject i guess...
i like zhentil keep most...
that city reflects human instincts very best...
it is a mirror for our souls...
all the evil deities that rule there are merciless and ruthless...
i dont like evil but it is a part of nature so we have to see it and
dont act like we dont want it...
"goodness is "NOTHƯNG" without evil sorryly... |
