Arabel is a fair-sized city of almost a thousand main buildings, situated at the junction of the High Road, Calantar's Way, the East Way and the Moonsea Ride in eastern Cormyr. It is a fortified city, though it has many posts for trading houses outside its walls. Arabel is first and foremost a merchant city, famed for its jewelry, principally that of the merchant house of Thond.
