Luskan, also known as the City of Sails, is a port city at the mouth of the River Mirar on the Sword Coast. Luskan, despite the presence of the Ten Towns, was considered by many to be civilization's farthest reach.
Although once a bustling city, in the days prior to the Spellplague, the city would suffered greatly at the hands of Arklem Greeth. The resulting disaster nearly annihilated the city, with it having only a fraction of its former populace.
