Defense

“Castles are well and good for impressing people, covering over dungeon cells, and keeping all the neighboring rats dry. But if you've not the strength to hold them when some armed host comes to call, they rapidly become grand and expensive tombs.” — Oren Bel Danarr, Sage of Triel, Musing on the Realms

Triel had a log-and-boulder stockade and locked its gates at night. Most travelers were unwelcome after dark.

Trade

Triel had few farms in the area and had to import everything it needed, especially food.

Much of the room behind the stockade was used to store grain and dry vegetables for the winter months when merchant visits were few and far between.

Notable Inhabitants

• Brinna Brightsong, a 15th century DR bard, killed by the Cult of the Absolute.
• Oren Bel Danarr, The Sage of Triel.
