At a Glance

Properly spelled Syluné.

A Chosen of Mystra, one of the Seven Sisters, a wizard, a spectral harpist, and an ally of the Harpers and the Knights of Myth Drannor.

Once the wife of Aumry and thus a former Lady of Shadowdale.

She perished in 1356 DR, defending Shadowdale against an unnamed red dragon under the influence of the Cult of the Dragon.

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.

Castle Krag

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


At a Glance

A fortress near Shadowdale.

Castle Krag, like the Twisted Tower, was built long ago by drow.

It was claimed more recently by Jyordhan, the Zhentarim puppet who briefly ruled Shadowdale. After his death the tower fell again into disrepair, but someone or something keeps repairing the catapults and occasionally fires a missile into the outlying farms of the dale. So far, nobody has been overly eager to enter the ruin and put a decisive stop to it.

Gharri also briefly claimed the tower, before meeting his doom, but his control was short-lived.
