Caeldun
Previously an independent town of farmers and settlers, this location was brutally sacked at the start of the Giant war. It was quickly and completely abandoned.
The village was rebuilt right after the war, in order to support a garrison which would defend the northern border.
Caeldun prospered once more for several decades, though the garrison was eventually deemed to expensive and defense was entrusted to the local nobles. The village was destroyed once more along with the other villages in the region during the Pillaging of Pendaire in the Strife of the Scions civil war.
In the last nine years some adventurous souls have returned to the town and started rebuilding, quickly drawing more settlers from the closest towns in the Meadow Vale when the area proved relatively safe and the land unusually fertile compared to the rest of the region. Dwarven prospectors claim to have found an ancient lost mine of legend near the town, and traces of a much older settlement beneath Caeldun. According to them, this must have been the location of the Alliance of Girin-Ubgrûr. Since this claim became known House Martes has suddenly showed a lot more interest in the new village. This was not taken kindly by the locals, who before then had had no contact with the local rulers besides when their tax collectors came.
