Lehigh Settlement in Soldiers of the Sword Coast | World Anvil

Lehigh

The once infamous hamlet of Lehigh, known for its dark past as a breeding ground for monstrous creatures, has undergone a significant transformation. Today, the small village serves as a crucial supply station for the Ffolk army, providing essential provisions and support to the soldiers in their ongoing battles. The hamlet has become a hub of activity, attracting merchants and travelers who pass through on their journeys between Ogden and Caer Callidyrr.

Demographics

The citizens of Lehigh are for the most part resettled Ffolk refugees, hailing from across northern Alaron. Despite facing displacement, the refugees have brought their rich cultural heritage rooted in their agrarian roots with them, embodying the same language, customs, dress, and religious practices as their fellow Ffolk. In their new home of Lehigh, they have formed a close-knit community where cultural traditions are valued and upheld, despite the challenges of resettlement. The Ffolk refugees are determined to rebuild their lives and preserve their cultural heritage for future generations.
