Phandalin

Phandalin is a village located northeast of Leilon, and southeast of Neverwinter where the road that runs from the High Road to Triboar faded into a trail. It was raided by orcs in 951 DR and subsequently abandoned. Since then it has been resettled and Phandalin has become a frontier settlement of farmers and prospectors looking for wealth in the Sword Mountains.

History

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 in 951 DR, it was overrun and then abandoned.   Sometime in the 1400s DR, settlers from Neverwinter and Waterdeep resettled the ruins of Phandalin, and it has become well-established by 1491 DR
