The ruins of Leilon

This once thriving village fell to raiders some 10 years ago and never recovered. It became stopover for caravans and travellers
on the High Road. An enterprising Halfling merchant financed the building of a fenced stockade and ditch to offer respite from
the road. Now with the coming of the undead, its become a forward Battle Camp for troops of the Lord Alliance from Never
Winter and the City Without. A small number of "mercenary personal" have set up camp here, assisting the regular troops

A small number of survivors from the final days of Phandalin are here, they can corroborate the info the players [should] have
from Thornhold, mostly miners and support staff.
