Turmish

Turmish is a kingdom located in central Faerun. The kingdom was known for its many dwarven cities and stronghold, al well as its high level of urban development. The capital city of Turmish was Alaghôn, which was also the eastern end of the Golden Road connecting it to the western city of Baldur's Gate.

Overview
Turmish is a feudal kingdom in central Faerun, having coasts on the great Sea of Fallen Stars and the calmer Afritan Sea. Turmish is surrounded by somewhat gentle mountain ranges, cliffy coasts, and hill ranges. These mountain ranges surrounded the great Turmish plains, which was essentially a vast river bed flowing towards the Sea of Fallen Stars. At the exit delta laid the kingdom's capital, Alaghôn.

Turmish had a divided population of mostly humans and dwarves. Humans worked the agricultural fields surrounding the riverbeds, and worked the trade routes and the harbors. The Dwarves mostly dwelled in their mountain strongholds, and provided much of the industrial labor.

The head of state was the King or Queen, who was also always the Duke of the capital, although that was mostly a formality. The other cities and towns were strictly ruled by Dukes and Counts, who pledged loyalty to the crown.

Turmish mostly held an isolationist agenda, having easily defendable natural borders and many resources within these mountain walls. Although Turmish was a favorable trading partner to other realms such as Tethyria, Cormyr, and Damara, it never much meddled in territorial expansions or conquest. That wasn't to say that Turmish was a pushover, as it had a large professional army and regularly sent armies and emmissaries to deal with perceived threats to its national security.
