OREME

Ancient Netherese Enclave

Forgotten Realms

Oreme was the capital of the SARRUKH empire. Oreme was incredibly ancient, predating the rise of Netheril. Following the destruction of their kingdom, sixty SARRUKH retreated into lichdom and would spend the ongoing centuries ruling the ruins of Oreme in turns while the others hibernated.
Mainly ruins and the circular rubble of its great towers remained on the surface, but many of its subterranean structures were intact. Around that time a YUAN-TI abomination half-fiend known as Kharantes had discovered their existence and sought to supplant the SARRUKH liches as ruler.
Over the centuries many myths circulated regarding Oreme. Some claimed it was the first NETHERESE enclave or the capital of a prehistoric kingdom, while others told of it being home to a savage DJINNI.
