Amn: Amnian
Anauroch: Anaurian
Arabel: Arabellan
Athkatla: Athkatlan
Baldur’s Gate: Baldurian (Never “Balduran,” which is the name of the city’s founder. To misuse his name is to insult his memory and the city.)
Berdusk: Berduskan
Calaunt: Calauntan (Not “Calauntian” or “Calaunan.” “Calaunthead” is a deliberate outlander’s insult heard often among Inner Sea sailors).
Citadel Adbar: Adbarrim
Citadel of the Raven: Ravenar (A citizen; garrison soldiers are referred to as “Citadel-helms,” or, less politely, as “stone-heads.”)
Cormyr: Cormyrean or Cormyrian (“Cormyte,” a more slang, familiar term, is also used, and is favored by the current monarch, Azoun IV)
Daerlun: Daerlunian
Elturel: Elturian (Not “Elturelian.”)
Elversult: Elversian (Not “Elversultian,” which is much used in Calimshan, and considered an insult by Elversians.)
Eveningstar: Evenor (An archaic, little-used, formal term.)
Faerûn: Faerûnian
Gond: Gondryr (Not “Gondian,” although this old term is sometimes applied to temples, vestments, and other items.)
Hillsfar: Hillfarian (The old, scholarly term “Helvar” is also sometimes heard.)
Immersea: Immersean (“Immerian” is also sometimes heard, but is frowned on locally, because it was used in the past to refer to smugglers, slavers, and pirates.)
Iriaebor: Iriaeben or Iriaeban
Lantan: Lantanna
Luskan: Luskar
Marsember: Marsembian (“Marsemban” is also correct, but rarer.)
Melvaunt: Melvauntian
Mintarn: Tarnian (Never “Mintarnian.”)
Mulmaster: Mulmasterite or Mulman (The former term applies to people, the latter to things.)
Myth Drannor: Myth Drannan
Neverwinter: Neveren or Neverwintian (The second term is rarely heard outside of poetry, pedantic peech, or among the arrogant Calishites.)
Nimbral: Nimbran or Nimbrian (Either is correct; the former is usually applied to beings, and the latter to things, but not always.)
Ordulin: Ordulian or Ordulan (The rarely-heard second term applies to goods, companies, animals, and items, but never to people.)
Procampur: Procampan
Ruathym: Ruathen
Saerloon: Saerloonian or Saerlunan (The second, older term is heard less often.)
Scornubel: Scornubian or Scornubrian (Both are correct, but the second term is little used.)
Selgaunt: Selgauntan or Selgite (The second term applies only to art and workmanship.)
Sembia: Sembite or Semmite (Either term, applied to the citizens, is correct, the former is used most often in the north and in the Dragonreach lands, the latter used more in the south. One speaks of a chair or sword of “Sembian” make, but of “Semban” habits, beliefs, or style of workmanship. Outlanders often call citizens of Sembia “Sembians,” and the citizens usually don’t bother to correct them.)
Shadowdale: Dalefolk (Like all other Dale-dwellers; they use no other term; in Sembia, Westgate, and the Vilhon Reach, where folk of the Dales are thought of as backwards bumpkins, the term “Daler” is sometimes heard; it corresponds to “dungcarter” or “hayseed.”)
Sossal: Sossrim or Sossar (Use the first term for beings, and the second for items.)
Suzail: Suzailan
Tantras: Tantran
Tashluta: Tashlutar (The term “Tashalar” refers to the surrounding coastlands, subject to the rule of Tashluta.)
Thay: Thayan
Tilverton: Tilverian (Never “Tilvertonian;” locals refer to themselves as “Gap folk,” and will say, “I’m from the Gap.”)
Urmlaspyr: Urmlassan (Not “Urmlaspian,” although snobs from Selgaunt use this term, which is resented in Urmlaspyr.)
Waterdeep: Waterdhavian
Westgate: Westhavian or Westar
Yhaunn: Yhauntan (Not “Yhauntian.”)
Zhentil Keep: Zhent or Zhentish (The former term applies to a being [plural: “Zhents”], the latter to work or goods produced by those citizens. The archaic term [used today mainly for artifacts and other olden-work] is “Zhentarian.” The term “Zhentilar” refers only to Zhentil Keep’s soldiers, and the term “Zhentarim” only to the mages, priests, and agents of the evil organization that currently controls Zhentil Keep).
