Phandalin

Abandoned for centuries, a small village is renewing itself...

Phandalin is a small mining town nestled against the northern edge of the Sword Mountains, about a day's journey west of Icespire Peak in northwestern Faerûn. Once an important farming center on the Sword Coast, dating back to the Age of Humanity, it was abandoned for several centuries until recent mineral & ore discoveries in the area caused the site to be settled once again as a regional hub for prospectors and a few humble farmers.

Demographics

Primarily human, with some elven and halfling residents.

Government

No functioning government beyond that of a 'townsmaster' that is elected annually by the residents. The most recent elected Townsmaster was Harbin Wester, but he was removed from the position by Sildar Halliwinter, a member of the Lord's Alliance, for failing to address the recent activities of the Redbrand bandits that had virtually taken over the town.

Industry & Trade

Farming for local sustenance, but a trading & provisioning post for local miners.

Infrastructure

Primarily built upon re-claimed ruins with some newer, simple residential structures.

History

Few know of it's history beyond that it was overrun, and soon abandoned by orc invaders around 500 years ago.

Geography

An inland, temperate coastal city buttressed against the northern outcropping of a small mountain range. Nestled within a set of small hills.
