Foramere Basin is located in the Dividing Plains, Tal'Dorei, south of Westruun.]]

Description
The  is a low-elevation region in central Tal'Dorei where water from two rivers comes together in a giant lake before draining into the Lucidian Ocean. One river flows from the Cliffkeep Mountains in the northwest, and the other from the Stormcrest Mountains in the south. The Foramere Basin itself is located south of Westruun, north of the Frostweald, and southwest of Kymal.

Society
The area around the basin is primarily small fishing villages which trade with Westruun and Kymal. These villages are notable for being the home to many descendants of warriors of the Icelost Years conflict, both those descended from the dwarves of Kraghammer and the elves of Syngorn. As a result, the tensions that currently exist elsewhere in Tal'Dorei between those two societies are forgotten here, and the villages are known as a haven for half-elves and elves who become disillusioned with Syngorn.

History
During the Icelost years, Errevon's ice fortress was located in Foramere Basin. Following his defeat, the fortress melted, creating the lake in Foramere Basin which to this day serves as the largest fresh water source in the region.

After the Chroma Conclave attacked Tal'Dorei and Westruun was overtaken by Umbrasyl and Kevdak's roving band of barbarians, many of Westruun's citizens fled the area. While some refugees were welcomed into Kymal, many were turned away due to the sheer number of people displaced. Those people travelled to the Foramere Basin and established an encampment.
