Phandalin

Phandalin (Pronounced Phan-dul-lin) is a small frontier township area located just South off the Triboar Trail and beneath Neverwinter Wood. It is roughly 3 days travel from the city of Neverwinter. Currently governed by the elected townmaster Harbin Wester. Mostly it is just a stop off town for travelers along the Triboar Trail as well as miners of the hills that dot the landscape around the area. The town is too small to sustain its own defense force which allowed the Red Brands taking over and suppressing the town. The town has roots dating back many centuries when it was first established by the Tresendar family but over time the area diminished and the town became abandoned. About a decade or so ago the town has been reestablished by frontiersmen and regained its inhabitants.
Phandalin is an old style frontier town that has grown up around the old ruins of the abandoned town that once stood before. Most of the buildings are single story dwellings except for the Stonehill Inn which has an upstairs floor for visitors and guests of the inn. The buildings are of stone and wood frame while the entrance to town is no more than an old dirt road. There is a small area of green at the centre of housing area as well as a small orchard within the grounds of the town. The areas to the west and south include small farmsteads while the old Tresendar Manor stands dilapidated on the hill to the east overlooking the town.
