From Galen and Maeve, you know the following:
The Horn of Honorius was last known to be in the possession of House Xenophon, an Atlantean noble house based in the city of Aes Tarnis, in what is now the Parrudan Empire.
The Parrudan Empire is the southern remnant of the once great Atlantean Empire, and views itself as the legitimate successor; a supposedly Atlantean Emperor still sits on the Orichalcum Throne in Parruda's capital. However, the Empire has long since fallen in decadence and decay, and much of its lands have fallen into chaos and anarchy. The Emperor is a mere figurehead, with various noble houses, mages, merchant guilds, and factions within the Imperial Army in a constant and ever-shifting struggle for power while the common folk of the Empire suffer under oppressive taxes and arbitrary rule, and ever large areas are reclaimed by wilderness or overrun by monsters.
Aes Tarnis is a typical Parrudan city - large, corrupt, filled with both fantastic opulence unknown north of the Godseye Sea and crushing poverty.
