Phandelin

Phandalin was a human village located northeast of Leilon, where the road that ran from the High Road to Triboar faded into a trail. It was raided by orcs in 951 DR and subsequently abandoned. It was eventually resettled, and Phandalin became a frontier settlement of farmers and prospectors looking for wealth in the Sword Mountains.
Phandalin had three deep wells.

Government

Phandalin had no functioning government, however, the townsfolk annually elected a "townsmaster". The townsmaster would serve as a judge and mediator, and also kept the records that need to be kept.

History

Phandalin was originally a farming community. The orcs of the realm of Uruth Ukrypt ("Home of Uruth") had destroyed all game in their realm, and in search of food, they 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.
After Volothamp Geddarm passed through the town and wrote about it, the area experienced an influx of tourists and adventurers.
