The Luskan Peninsula

#REDIRECT The Fallo, The Horn, and Turmish
The Luskan Peninsula or the Il Pinza de Luska (The Claw of Luskan) was the bicornuate peninsula of Faerun. It was dotted with many small agricultural and naval cities, and at its centre was the city of Luskan. On the eastern edge was the Troodos mountains, a low range of heavily forested peaks. 
The climate was scrub and mediterranean, and as such the region was perfect for growing things like olives, figs, grapes, and lemons. The region was famed for its cuisine, a large contributor to the exports of Luskan. There was an expansive desert on its western edge. 
It was an early place of human settlement and proto-agriculture, with one of the largest cities of the ancient world, Ilusikanus. 
Especially due to its climate, the peninsula was widely famed for its fine wines, including Troodos, Cessalia and Alfa de Bristos, all from their eponymous regions.
The entire peninsula was under the control of the Lusken Empire. Its capital was of course Luskan, but its secondary capital was the city of Brist, capital of the Bristos region north of the Troodos.
A notable village was Pellegrina's Landing.
The native humans of the peninsula were noted for having medium olive-tan complexions and often wavy blonde or brown hair.
