The Tisdale Pact
The Tisdale Pact stands as a formidable alliance forged among
the leaders of the pioneering settlements within the Tisdale
District and the venerable Elves of Evermeet. At the helm of
this alliance is a council, comprising not only the mayors of
Tisdale, Fredericktown, and Porcupine but also
representatives from various guilds, factions, and the
esteemed âhkihkaniw tribes. Among its esteemed members
are the captains of the guard from each settlement, ensuring
both civilian and military perspectives are represented in the
council's deliberations. Currently, the Tisdale Pact counts
these individuals as council members:
• Tisdale Mayor
• Porcupine Mayor
• Frederick Shoeslapper III
• Tisdale guard captain
• Porcupine guard captain
• Fredericktown guard captain
• âhkihkaniw diplomat
• FDX council member
• Shadow Vein Division council member
In addition to these key figures, the council includes delegates
from influential entities such as the FDX, representing the
economic interests of the region, and the Shadow Vein
Division, lending their expertise in matters of security and
defense. Together, these diverse voices form the backbone of
the Tisdale Pact, embodying the spirit of cooperation and
unity that defines its essence.
Beyond its diplomatic and military functions, the Tisdale Pact
serves as a bastion of commerce, drawing upon the economic
prowess of its member settlements to bolster trade both
within the alliance and with external partners. Through the
facilitation of robust trade networks and the promotion of
mutual prosperity, the Pact not only ensures the region's
economic vitality but also fosters bonds of mutual
interdependence that contribute to its enduring stability and
resilience.

The Pact Under Threat:
Rumors swirl of a powerful artifact discovered within
the ruins near Tisdale that could shift the balance of
power in the region. The Tisdale Pact seeks the
adventurers' help to secure the artifact before it falls
into the wrong hands, leading to a race against rival
factions and ancient guardians.
The âhkihkaniw villages of the
Tisdale Region
The âhkihkaniw communities of the Tisdale region
represent an ancient and resilient presence in the
wilderness of Anchorome, tracing their lineage back to
time immemorial. Despite the encroachment of Faerunian
settlers, these indigenous peoples have steadfastly
maintained their cultural traditions and deep connection to
the land, forging enduring bonds with neighboring
settlements through trade and mutual cooperation.
Nestled amidst the majestic landscapes of the Tisdale
region are the two thriving âhkihkaniw communities:
Wiyahkawin and Wiyotayin. The Wiyahkawin village,
situated at the base of Mt. Jamieson amidst the verdant
Jamieson forest, serves as a beacon of tradition and
communal harmony. Here, amidst the towering trees and
babbling brooks, the âhkihkaniw people have carved out a
sustainable way of life, rooted in reverence for nature and
ancestral wisdom.
In the eastern reaches of the Tisdale District lies the
tranquil enclave of Wiyotayin, nestled within the embrace
of Crestwood Forest. Surrounded by lush foliage and
teeming wildlife, the Wiyotayin village embodies the
essence of tranquility and resilience. Despite the challenges
posed by encroaching civilization, the inhabitants of
Wiyotayin remain steadfast in their commitment to
preserving their cultural heritage and living in harmony
with the natural world.
Together, these âhkihkaniw communities stand as living
testaments to the enduring spirit of the indigenous peoples
of Anchorome, their villages serving as bastions of
tradition, community, and environmental stewardship in
an ever-changing world. Through their ongoing
interactions with the settlements of the Tisdale Pact, they
not only contribute to the region's cultural tapestry but also
enrich the fabric of society with their unique perspectives
and timeless wisdom.
