Phandalin

Phandalin was originally a farming community. However, when the orcs of the realm of Uruth Ukrypt had destroyed all game in their realm, they went in search of food and turned on the human settlements in the area, raiding them. Phandalin was one of these settlements, and as orcs do, it was overrun and then abandoned.

After Volothamp Geddarm passed through the town and wrote about it, the area experienced an influx of tourists and adventurers. Sometime within the last century, settlers from Stormfold and Ironwind Halls resettled the ruins of Phandalin, and it was well-established by five years later.

Recently, a group of bandits known as the Redbrands, or the Redbrand Ruffians, settled in Phandalin, and made their lair under Tresdenor Manor. They committed several terrible acts, such as racketing local businesses, kidnapping over a dozen travelers and selling them into slavery, killing the woodcarver, Thel Dendrar, for his defiance, and later kidnapping his family. It wasn't until an energetic band of adventurers traveled thru the village and removed the threat, that Phandalin was able to return to its peace.

Unfortunately that peace did not last. Months later, after the group who had taken residence in Tresdenar Manor continued their adventures, that marauding hobgoblin tribes belonging to The Soveriegnty burned and razed the village to the ground killing numerous villagers in the process.
