Phandalin is 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.

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 had
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.

Government

Phandalin has no functioning government, however, the townsfolk annually

elect a townsmaster. The townsmaster serves as a judge and mediator, and also
kept the records that need to be kept, along with one or more Beadles serving
under them.

Places of Interest

Stonehill Inn

A modest inn run by a tall, friendly human male named Toblen Stonehill. Toblen
came from Triboar in the east, seeking the opportunity in prospecting like many
others. He soon found that he knew more about running an inn than mining,
and so he established the inn.

iss run by a lean and balding human male of fifty years with a kindly manner
named Elmar Barthen.

He is gruff and often short with people if they disobey his orders, but he is
calculated in his strategies and gets annoyed when his methods are questioned.

Marc, was killed by bandits while he was riding to Neverwinter with their
parents. After the death of their youngest child, Kim's parents left Phandalin,
determined to escape the violence of the wilds of the Sword Coast. Kim and her
twin brother, Wendel remained, serving as hunters for the village.

Kim particularly hates bandits and when she is not on a hunt, she is always
willing to kill any lurking too close to her home. She always travels with her pet
panther, Persephone, who she raised since she was just a kitten. Persephone is
very well trained and poses no danger to residents of the town, but is a source of

Kim Wayfield's twin brother and resident hunter. He's often ridiculed for being
a bit dim-witted, and is often referred to as the village idiot. Most of these
comments are made behind his back, however, as Wendel is a formidable
fighter, and as much as he is to be feared due to his fighting ability, even more
fear the wrath of his sister, who is one of the most talented archers in the region.

Wendel is fiercely protective of his sister, much less so of the village. He serves
them well, but has very little loyalty to Phandalin or its people. He would gladly

to find herself and experience something different. Her plan was to explore the
Sword Coast before moving east across the continent to see as much of Faerun
as possible.

Her plans changed though when she grew accustomed to a quiet life in a small
town. She never felt the same wanderlust her parents felt and wanted something
more: a real home. She has lived in Phandalin ever since. She employs her skill
as a hunter to aid the people there, and is quick to fight anyone or anything she
sees as a threat to her new home.

her story. She originally served as a Scout for the town due to her naturally
stealthy and quiet nature, but they quickly realized her skill with a crossbow
made her more suited for the Town Watch.

Jelena is a great shot, rivaling that of most of the Hunters, but has always been
overshadowed by Jennifer. They have a friendly rivalry and are close friends,
often confiding in one another. No one in town is sure if Jennifer knows about

is no one in town Jelena is closer to than Jennifer.

Crispus Drevar was born in Phandalin but his family moved to Neverwinter
when he was just a young boy. His parents opened up a small inn and were
doing quite well for themselves. It wasn't long before local thugs started trying
to strongarm his family into paying them protection money. Crispus wouldn't
stand for this extortion and stood up to them. Despite being outnumbered, he
fought valiantly, but still lost, being badly beaten and left in an alley.

He soon joined up with the Neverwinter Militia, not only to better learn to
defend himself, but also to find a way to protect his family. He convinced his
squad mates to help drive the thugs off, and his family was left alone to continue
their business in peace.

Once his family was able to afford personal bodyguards, Crispus decided to head
back to Phandalin to live a quieter life. His dreams were short lived, as the town
was plagued with mysterious problems soon after his arrival. Unfazed though,
he immediately volunteered to join the Town Watch and help protect the village.

Harold came to town ten years ago, coming from the Neverwinter Wood
exhausted and covered in blood. He was badly wounded and barely coherent at
the time. His wounds were dressed and he was nursed back to health. He stuck
around since then, doing odd jobs but never opening up to anyone about where
he came from or what happened to him in the forest.

It became quite evident though, as he healed up, that he was quite strong and
good with an axe. He bounced around professions, working as a farmhand,
forester, and hunter, but quickly found his place in the Town Watch as an
enforcer.

Quiet and intimidating, Harold keeps his mind on his work and prefers to stay
away from others. The only person in town he seems to have built any sort of
relationship with is Grum Grumson.

Lanar serves as the foreman of the miners, working in the mines longer than
anyone, even the Rockseekers. Nundro is one of his best friends, and the
Dwarves often refer to Lanar as a Half Dwarf for his mining skill and how at
home he is underground. He is gruff and demanding, but fair, and most of all
looks after the well being of his miners. He doesn't trust Halia and is resentful of
her position as the leader of the Miner's Guild, not because he covets the
position for himself, but because he finds her to be selfish and untrustworthy.
His wife, Elaine, was taken in an Orc raid twenty years ago and he has had no
word of her since. While he desperately wants to find out about her fate, he has
given up on any idea of rescue long ago. He believes her to be dead and has

Description
Thokk was originally part of the Many-Arrow Tribe. His Human mother was
taken as a trophy by an Orc warlord. From his birth, Thokk was trained to be a
soldier and raider, but his Human nature didn't allow him to ignore the plight of
the non-Orc prisoners in the camp, especially his poor mother. He saw the
emptiness in her eyes, the reluctant acceptance to her life. Thokk didn't want a
part of that life so he fled when he was just 13-years-old. He spent 5 years in the
wilderness surviving on his own until he was found in the forest by Jennifer
Watkins. She pitied him and brought him back to town. Most of the town was
reluctant to allow a Half Orc in the village, especially one from an Orc camp, but
begrudgingly accepted his presence. Thokk was eager to be useful to the town to
show that he belonged, working alongside the other foresters and eagerly
joining up with Gareth's militia.
