Swords of Lankhmar[?]
The Land of the Eight Cities lies north of the Inner Sea across from Lankhmar continent. It is known for it’s forests.
It is difficult to tell exactly which cities in the stories are the Eight Cities for there are more than eight in the lands north of the Inner Sea. There are also Sarheenmar and Ilthmar on the eastern coast, but from the way things are phrased in The Snow Women, it seems these are considered to be eastern.
We do know from The Snow Women that Gnamph Nar, Mlurg Nar, Kvarch Nar are three of the Eight Cities. Also in other stories we learn that Ool Krut, Ool Hrusp, and Illik-Ving are three more of the eight. We still have two more cities to choose from. Since the Eight Cities are always mentioned as being forested, and we know from The Mer She that No-Ombrulsk is basically treeless as it lies too far north, we may choose to decide that No-Ombrulsk is not one of the Eight Cities leaving us with the following.
Cities:
Illik-Ving, Gnamph Nar, Klelg Nar, Kvarch Nar, Mlurg Nar, Ool Hrusp, Ool Krut, and Ool Plerns.
