Phandalin

Phandalin is located in the Northeastern part of the Forgotten Realms. It was built within the past 10 years directly on the remains of an abandoned mining town. Because of this the town is a jumble of houses and businesses, with only a few completely new buildings including a town center, temple, and a Lionshield Coster specialty store. The remainder of the buildings are remodeled from the abandoned town. It is not uncommon to see half brick/half lumber business beside a half fallen brick house being used as a blacksmith shop. Recently a wooden wall has been planned that will protect the entire city and should be finished within the year.

The main exports from Phandalin are iron ore and lumber. Most of the workers in the city are employed in the iron mine nearby or in the forests as loggers. Despite it's recent recovery, Phandalin is a prosperous town. Merchants buying and selling goods come through weekly, bringing with them new settlers. Currently there are approx. 250 residents, but it is rapidly increasing.

Some notable residents are :

Harbin Wester - Mayor and town leader. A former businessman from Neverwinter. He has assisted the heroes several times and vice versa.

Sildar Hallwinter - Advisor to Wester and member of the Lords' Alliance. Also a personal friend of Gundren Rockseeker. Originally Sildar is from Waterdeep, but has came to oversee the growth of Phandalin for the Lords' Alliance. Before being accepted into the Lords' Alliance he was a cavalry soldier in Waterdeep. He was revived by the heroes after the battle of Wave Echo Cave.

Sister Garaele - An elven priestess who runs the temple to Tymora in Phandalin. She is also a member of the Harpers, and owes the heroes a favor after they brought her a cursed tome.

Farindal Highmoon - Captain of the City Guard.
