Yartar Under Siege (Session 44: The Grand Dame)

The fortified city of Yartar straddles both banks of the Dessarin River. On the west bank (where you previously encountered your drow friends for the first time) is a walled citadel which appears to be under the city’s control; but now it is being served as an outpost for the city’s militia. This citadel on the west side of the city opens up to the highway leading west to Triboar (Triboar Trail). However this entry-point has been completely closed off and the bridge that connects the two halves of the city has been destroyed.

Connecting the eastern and western halves of the city was a wide stone bridge. Given this time of war, the military presence within the city is significantly less than the last time you were here. All things considered, Yartar is prosperous and becoming increasingly crowded. You can tell that there is a presence of wealth here. Some of the old buildings have been torn down and taller ones built — four stories high, in some cases. But in some areas you can see that it looks like buildings have been destroyed in the wake on the current on-going attacks from the giants.
