Aencar’s Manor

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

Located four miles south of Essembra, in Battledale, Aencar’s Manor is almost assuredly haunted, but that hasn’t stopped the Cult of the Dragon from setting up a base here.

Abbey of the Sword

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A temple of Tempus, built in the ruins of a castle in Battledale where Tempus appeared during the Time of Troubles. The cellars of the castle, and the underdark tunnels nearby, feature many still-operational portals. The abbey is overrun by Auzkovyn drow in 1371 DR, who arrive through one of those portals and decimate the staff of the abbey. Now, the followers of Tempus are stretched even more thinly.

Dalelands

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

The Dalelands, currently eleven in number, are autonomous communities nestled (to varying degrees) in the trees of Cormanthor. They can occasionally cooperate for mutual defense, but generally only when failure to do so would unquestionably spell the doom of the dales in question… and in those times they can generally count on support from Cormyrean and Sembian forces because those kingdoms will be threatened as well in such situations.

Who Rules

Though several have tried to unite the dales, and some have briefly succeeded, there is currently no central leadership beyond the Dales Council. Each dale has its own form of leadership, and sends a representative to the Council.
