Anchorome

Its best-known inhabitants are the Azuposi, as well as the defunct Esh Alakarans and the xenophobic Poscadar elves. There is also a sahuagin realm called Itzcali located in the sea nearby. It is speculated that it is the land where the Creator Race known as the Aearee retreated to long ago.
Long ago, Balduran, a sea captain who was the founder of Baldur's Gate, sailed to Anchorome and returned with a great wealth that was used to build the wall around the fledgling Baldur's Gate. Balduran then returned to Anchorome and retrieved a second hoard of treasure from the Native Kingdoms. Unfortunately, when he attempted to take on a number of locals to replenish his crew he discovered they were infected with lycanthropy. The resulting battle shipwrecked Balduran on an island. The island was later discovered by a Merchant Guild from Baldur's Gate, where both the original crews' and the natives from Anchorome's descendants were locked in a bloody lycanthrope feud. The fate of Balduran himself is still unknown.
After the discovery of Maztica by the mercenary Captain Cordell, mercenaries from the Flaming Fist were sent to Anchorome. They built a keep, Fort Flame, in the shores of Balduran's Bay, but other than that the expedition was a complete disaster.
It is rumoured that several tribes of thri-kreen make their home in Anchorome's western regions.
