Nimbral
Nimbral (pronounced: /nɪmˈbrɑːl/ nim-BRALL), also known as The Sea Haven, was an island nation that was probably the most mysterious land in all of Toril. Hippogriff- and pegasus-mounted warriors attacked a lot of foreign merchants (though almost always because they were slavers or pirates) and large fleets that headed in the supposed direction of the island had a history of being turned away.
Culture
Many islanders were well-versed in local lore, which includes historical events such as shipwrecks, the arrival and defeat of dragons, significant births and deaths of both notable figures and personal kin, among others. Many of the inhabitants can trace their roots back to Halruaa.
All Nimbrese spoke both Common and Halruaan. Common was primarily used for everyday conversations, while Halruaan was reserved for religious rituals, familial and communal traditions, ballads, and formal occasions. Most used Iokharic script daily, and many were also familiar with Elven and the Espruar script. Additionally, the Nimbrali developed Ruathlek, the secret language of illusionists, for both magical and mundane activities.
Demography and Population
Roughly 90% human and 10% elves, give-or-take a few percentage points and counting any half-elves as full elves.
Trade & Transport
Nimbral was self-sufficient and only traded with Samarach, Halruaa (both of these only infrequently though) and Zakhara, all mysterious and nigh-unknown lands themselves. As a result, many wild and varied rumours have been spread by the folk of the mainland who have heard of the place.
