So I'm in my friend's new DnD 5th edition game, and it's set in what's essentially the Forgotten Realms setting. My GM asked me what city my character would come from. I could have made up one, but I wanted to do a canon city to help fit into the world. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the world of Forgotten Realms. So I was hoping to get advice from you guys on a city to pick.
My character is a half-orc who grew up in the ghettho of a city, where Half-orcs and other monstrous looking sentient races are heavily discriminated against. He joined the army when he became of age to gain respect. He trained as a Ranger and fought against goblin races and invading orcs primarily, before his unit was left to die.
So what I need is a city that:
Discriminates against Half-orcs
Has a Ghetto of monster or non-human races
Is part of a kingdom that has an army, or has it's own city army
Exists in the Forgotten Realms canon
Deals with the threat of goblins and Orcs on a frequent basis, possibly on the boards with them
So yeah. I don't know if there's a city that falls into these restrictions. I'm wondering if maybe Waterdeep, but I don't know if that's too cosmopolitan to discriminate half-orcs. But let me know if Waterdeep would be a good choice, or some other city, and I'll do more research.
Thanks in advance
