The Bladeshimmer Shoreline, named for the distant glimmering of sunlight across the Ozmit Sea, stretches across the central western coast of Tal’Dorei. It is the cradle of human civilization on Tal’Dorei, and bears the marks the first human colonists to set foot on this continent, as well as the heart and capital of the Tal’Dorei empire. This side of the landmass is the closest to the continents of Issylra and Marquet, and dozens of tall-masted trading ships set sail to and from its calm shores each day—as well as the occasional Skyship drifting towards Emon. Inland Bladeshimmer is mostly temperate grassland, intercut by cool, winding rivers. The bulk of western Tal’Dorei’s produce comes from farms here, blessed with clean water and non-salinated soil, despite the ocean’s proximity. Emon’s nearby military presence lends the region some stability, but the yeomen living beyond the city’s walls still struggle to defend their small plots from burrowing ankegs, nomadic gnolls, hungry goblin scavengers, and other terrors.
