I seem to remember a half-orc city in the Realms, but I can't remember the name of it nor can I find it in my FRCS. Help!

Palischuk in Vaasa is a city of primarily half-orcs, if that is the one you are thinking of.

Could ye point to where this is detailed in particular, KnightErrantJR?

The town has a quick mention in The Great Glacier supplement, one of the few useful details in that product.

The old Bloodstone Lands (FR9?) had a mention of the city in it as well, and of course the town is the setting for at least part of Promise of the Witch King.

Aye... FR9.

Note also that the city KEJR refers to is spelt "Palishchuk" in The Bloodstone Lands -- whereas in The Great Glacier, it is spelt "Palischuk."
