Vilarejos do Vale da Adaga

Anathar's Dell

Este vilarejo foi fundado pelo cl de anes Brightblade alm de duas das famlias de humanos e meio-elfos,

respectivamente, Blacklock e Talop, Snowgold e Winterwood. Os anes mineram prata e esmeraldas, os

humanos e meio-elfos so fazendeiros seguidores de Chauntea. Os membros destas famlias cuidam do

templo de Chauntea no vilarejo (No 8 no mapa) e auxiliam e so auxiliados pelos druidas da regio.

Viajando pela estrada (Caminho de Tethyamar) margeando as colinas possvel observar que esta terra

abenoada em alguns aspectos. A vegetao rica, flores silvestres, todo tipo de vegetao adequada para o

clima local apresenta-se com exuberncia excepcional. Arvores frutferas de diversas espcies margeiam a

estrada disponibilizando seus frutos para o deleite das aves. Aps alguns kilometros de caminhada o viajante

depara-se com um cruzamento que o leva para fora da estrada. No mesmo observa-se uma placa feita de

pedra vermelha com os dizeres.

Anathar - Dell ( 6km )

Comida e Bebida requintadas & Chales confortveis.

A trilha estreita, larga o suficiente apenas para comportar duas pessoas lado a lado, a mesma aparenta

no ser utilizada com freqncia. Aps alguns metros, um pequeno riacho vindo do norte segue a estrada

para baixo em um vale estreito. A trilha margeada por vegetao densa e arvores. Aps seguir a trilha mal

iluminada por alguns kilometros (5km), percebe-se pequenos movimentos e barulhos nos arbustos, estes,

provocados por um filhote de tigre divertindo- se prximo a mesma.

Nota: Caso os jogadores ataquem o filhote, seus familiares iro aparecer para defend-lo em 1d4 rounds, um

mesmo numero de moradores aparecero em outros 1d4 rounds. Os tigres vigiam a entrada do vilarejo sob

as ordens dos druidas de Chauntea.

Aps alguns minutos de caminhada, a trilha mal iluminada culmina em um vale aberto com uma colina

situada no centro deste alm de fazendas e pomares. Pode-se ouvir gua corrente nas proximidades, um

riacho que corre em direo ao vilarejo atravessando um pequeno moinho no caminho. Uma pequena

estrada de ladrilhos leva a uma ponte que atravessa o riacho. Do seu lado da ponte, a estrada vira para o

noroeste e segue a margem norte do rio para um edifcio de pedra cinza cerca de 600 metros frente, no

sop ao norte da colina. A construo lembra uma oficina de ferreiro. Do outro lado da ponte, a estrada

serpenteia at a colina para a aldeia, calorosamente iluminada com lanternas de boas-vindas. Uma

considervel quantidade de fazendas ficam sobre o morro. Por entre as rvores, vislumbra-se um grupo de

casas e um edifcio maior, no cume, que se assemelha a uma estalagem. Outra trilha de terra circunda o p

do morro, do outro lado do riacho.

Map of Anathar's Dell

1. The Brightblade Mines. Visible for the most part are only tailings and the massive, ornate stone entrance

to the halls and mines of the Brightblade Clan. The Brightblade Clan, which founded Anathar's Dell, mines

mainly silver and emeralds here. The clan also produces silver bars with a value of 25 gold lions that will be

accepted almost anywhere in the Realms at face value.

2. Stronghouse. This is a heavily fortified barn the Brightblade Dwarves built for the human and halfelven

residents of Anathar's Dell. The families of the village graze large herds of beef cattle on the higher hills to

the east of the village from late Tarsakh until mid-Eleint, weather permitting. The barn gives these herds

shelter in the winter. But the huge walled barn also serves as a defensive fortress the residents can flee to in

time of attack. A deep and bountiful well provides sufficient water, and the village's food cellars are beneath

the stronghouse, with easily enough provisions stored there to endure a two-year-siege. In ancient times,

the tower of the mage Anathar stood on this site. Anathar had an agreement with the Brightblade Clan to

defend the village. He and a dragon killed one another when the dragon attacked the village.

3. Dell Smithy and Stables. This business is run by the master dwarf smith Njolding (dm, fighter lvl 5, AL: LG),

but his interest goes only as far as the smithy. An employee of his, the retired ranger Londa Warrin (hef,

ranger lvl 10, AL: NG) runs the stable and takes care of the horse trade for him.

4. Guest cottages. See No. 5.

5. Anathar's Hall. This friendly inn is run by a dwarf wife named Kharva. Food and mood are quite good in

the inn. The main guest room still serves from time to time as the impromptu headquarters for Randal

Morn's Freedom Fighters, and the rooms on the 2nd

story (European 1st

floor) serve as a barracks for the

eight Freedom Fighters (hm, fighter 6 x lvl 1, 1 x lvl 2, 1 x lvl 3, AL: NG,) permanently stationed here. This inn

is a communal operation. All food in the inn is provided by the local agriculture, including the beer, which is

brewed in the temple brewery. The guest cottages surrounding the hall belong to Kharva's inn operation. A

cottage can house up to two persons and costs two gold lions a day. These give the guests the right to eat

and drink all they wish in the hall. No money changes hands in the hall. It is open to all local residents and to

guest cottage visitors, all of whom eat and drink all they wish at no charge. There is a setting for the PCs'

visit to the hall!

6. Dell Drawbridge. The bridge usually is down, but it is raised when trouble is expected and at night. One of

the village's residents always is on duty in the small guardhouse at the bridge.

7. Valley Mill. Grain is milled and vegetable oil is pressed by the local worshippers of Chauntea. The mill

belongs to the temple.

8. Temple to Chauntea: Most of this temple actually serves as storage for grain and other produce,

however, the druids of the area do lead services to Chauntea at the two solstices and the two equinoxes.

Local worshippers of Chauntea maintain the temple and run its brewery.

9. Treehouse Family Snowgold: This tree is by far the largest oak in Anathar's Dell. The PCs may or may not

notice a large treehouse high in this oak. Some members of the halfelven Snowgold family live in the

treehouse and maintain a constant lookout from there, sounding an alarm, if needed. The Snowgolds also

take care of the tigers who patrol the village perimeter.

10. Village Cemetery.

Encounter - Anathar's Hall

Anyone could feel at home in Anathar's Hall. The massive stone walls, obviously the work of dwarven

masters masons, leave one feeling secure.

The two huge roaring fireplaces, the warm light of the lanterns and the happy mood that fills this house

make it uplifting, to say nothing of the excellent lager beer the locals brew in their temple. There's also the

fine, locally grown food cooked to perfection by the innkeeper, the dwarf wife Kharva. Tonight's fare is local

beef roast, local potatoes in a rich forest mushroom source, a large vegetable platter and a huge bowl of

salad, all local produce.

Kharva has made it clear that your cottage tab pays for all you can eat and drink, and she seems to suggest

the kitchen has an endless supply of food. As the night wears on, she comes over to your table with a piece of

parchment. A quick look shows you that it's a map of Daggerdale.

"Randal Morn has been pretty much running things in southern Daggerdale for a few decades already,"

Kharva tells you. "This use to be his hidden headquarters, this very hall here."

Black Switch

Uma pequena estrada de terra batida corta o Caminho de Tethyamar, uma pequena placa em forma de seta

aponta para a margem oeste da estrada, nesta esta escrito os dizeres:

Black Switch 3Km

Casa do feiticeiro Ruse

Bebidas e uma boa noite de sono

A estrada leva a um belo vale, ladeado por um belo bosque no vale de uma colina. A maior parte do vilarejo

composta de pequenas fazendas, ao centro, uma lagoa. Ladeando a mesma uma pequena aglomerao de

construes dentre elas uma pequena estalagem, um alambique, um templo, um celeiro e um moinho.

The Map of Black Switch

1. Village Granary. This is a community building with several layers of cellars used to store grain and

provisions for the entire village.

2. Black Mill. Miller Kenneth Racek runs this water-powered mill, which makes various flours and presses

vegetable oil.

3. Village Cemetery.

4. Sunrise House of Bounty. The House holds shrines to Lathander and Chauntea. The Priest is Melfar of

Lathander (lvl 2). The Chauntea shrine is maintained by worshippers and local druids.

5. The Ruse's Mage Inn and Brewery: Several hundred years ago, a farmer remembered only by the name of

Kimpl stood up against a raiding band of about 20 orcs. They arrived in the early morning hours, and Kimpl

was wearing only his night robe. According to local legend, it was an absolutely ridiculous robe - the kind of

thing only magic dabblers ordinarily would wear. He supposedly emerged from his farmhouse with a large

black stick in his hand about the size of a staff, waved it at the orcs and claimed to be some visiting mage

from distant points. He told the orcs if they still were visible in the village - then called Starvale - in another 3

minutes, he would blow the orcs all the way back to Gruumsh.

He apparently put the fear of the god into them, because they hightailed it, turning Kimpl into a local hero

and legend. Kimpl was themage of the ruse. The inn was named after him. The village was renamed after his

staff. Even the village pond was named after his ruse. In the Year of the Tankard (1370 DR), Delbert Hiel, a

retired militia member from Deepingdale, bought the long closed inn and remodeled it. It was opened in

Tarsakh of the current Year of the Unstrung Harp (1371 DR). Hiel calls his delicious lager beer Black Magic

Brew. It's available only at his inn, at 4 copper thumbs per quart/liter tankard. He has no plans to sell it

elsewhere. His inn also serves local meat and produce at prices ranging from 5 to 8 silver falcons and has 2

single rooms and 9 silver falcons and four doubles at 8 silver falcons per person.

Ruse Pond - The pond is named after Kimpl's ruse. It is a favorite spot for catching rainbow trout and yellow

perch. The pond was dammed by Kenneth Racek's ancestors, to run the mill.

Castle Enneth

Castle Enneth was completed in the Year of the Laughing Gull (799 DR), when Merrydale still was suffering

under the vampire plague. The complex was built by a paladin of Torm known as Sir Delhorn Enneth, who is

said to have been one of those who marched to Bloodstone and helped to destroy the vampire lords and

their followers in the Year of the Patchworked Peace (802 DR). Castle Enneth is not really a castle as such,

but rather a fortified village that has Sir Delhorn's castle as its focal point.

Sages claim that no foe succeeded in conquering Castle Enneth from the day it was completed until it was

abandoned by its remaining residents shortly before the Time of Troubles in the Year of the Prince (1357

DR). In the years since that time, it had been used as a remote holdout of the Freedom Fighters in their war

against the Zhentarim, who never made a serious attempt to take Castle Enneth, although flying Zhentarim

mages did wage aerial attacks on a few occasions when Randal Morn was known or believed to be within

the complex.

While these mages had done some respectable damage to the village on a few occasions, none of them

reckoned with the stolen triple ballista the Freedom Fighters had mounted atop the castle, which succeeded

in bringing the mages down for all time.

The visitor to Castle Enneth already can see from some distance the four-tiered hill with its fortress at the

very top. An enemy must pass through five walls to reach the castle at the top. The first wall surrounds the

hill on the valley floor, and the four subsequent walls skirt each tier of the hill.

However, the castle fortress and the high wall surrounding it are the only parts of Castle Enneth that are in

really top condition. The Freedom Fighters have done their best to keep both in good shape. The remaining

walls stand unbreached, but the weather and attacks from small, roaming bands of orcs or flying Zhentarim

mages have taken their toll on the other levels. In most cases, the wall is merely weakened, however,

because of mortar falling out from between the stones that make up the wall. There still is time to

strengthen the wall, but if nothing is done, it will begin to collapse within a few more years.

In general, the condition of the walls gets poorer with each lower level. The same is true for the buildings.

Flaming orc arrows from outside the walls set many farms on the valley level and the first two tiers of the

hill in flames in years gone by, and the burnt frames and hulks of these structures stand in places, beyond

repair.

The Freedom Fighters maintained not only the castle and its defensive tower on the hill's crown but also

attempted to maintain those buildings on the Village Tier immediately below the castle as well as they

could. None of these buildings is fit to use as they stand today. For more than a dozen winters, they all have

gone unheated, taking a toll on each and every one of them. Nonetheless, they are salvageable, and their

restoration will cost substantially less than it would to tear them down and build anew.

Lord Morn has strong hopes that people will resettle Castle Enneth and bring the village back to life again.

There are several reasons for this. Castle Enneth and the surrounding area enjoys rich fertile black soils

dating back to a time when more of the area was under water and Enneth Creek perhaps was a large river.

In the time of the Zhentarim, Castle Enneth's economic base gradually deteriorated, as ever more people

left the rural regions of Daggerdale, including those surrounding the walled village. The only remaining

markets were the Zhentish garrisons in Kellet and Dagger Falls to the north, but after both Kellet and

Liethen's Falls were destroyed by dragons in the Year of the Worm (1356 DR), passage to Dagger Falls had

become all but impossible, and the farmers had no place left to sell their produce.

The remaining folk in Castle Enneth were forced to rely on only that which they could produce themselves,

and that was too little. They fled and abandoned their historical village to the bands of Freedom Fighters

who at least succeeded in keeping it out of orc hands. The Zhentarim were only mildly interested in the

castle; it had little strategic value and no economic value for them, although the Freedom Fighters' use of

the castle as a hideout was an irritation.

Castle Enneth's fate was similar in the end to that of many settlements in Daggerdale. The Zhentarim never

were interested in Daggerdale or its folk as resources in their own right. By taking control of the dale, the

Black Network was able to maintain a buffer between "its" territory in the north and on the Moonsea in the

east and "enemy" territory in Shadowdale, Mistledale and Cormyr, and it was able to protect a key trade

route it had developed through the Tesh Valley to Anauroch.

Randal Morn, of course, has a much different view of Daggerdale. He wishes to bring the dale back to life

again. To do that, he needs to revitalize military strongholds like Castle Enneth to protect the heart of the

dale from the orcs and renegade Zhentish troops taking refuge in the foothills of the Desertsmouth

Mountains, and he needs the fertile fields surrounding Castle Enneth to be sowed again, to feed the new

population he hopes to build in Daggerdale.

Late in the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR), Lord Morn issued an edict that all former residents of Castle

Enneth must return to their old holdings before the end of Kythorn in the Year of the Tankard (1370 DR) or

risk losing claim to their property forever. As of the 1st

of Flamerule in that year, Lord Morn said his

government would honor the claim of others who wished to restore abandoned farms and other buildings

and would issue title to them.

If your campaign is running after this deadline and your PCs are adventuring in eastern or central

Daggerdale, this could give them a chance to set up a secure base of operations in Castle Enneth. Lord Morn

would welcome a claim from such adventurers in Castle Enneth, because their presence would increase the

settlement's defensive strength, making it easier to convince others to resettle Castle Enneth.

Whatever course your PCs may take, Lord Morn is aware that much of Castle Enneth still can be restored. It

is his hope and goal to do so. If he succeeds, Castle Enneth not only will join Dagger Falls and Anathar's Dell

as one of Daggerdale's largest settlements, but it also will provide him and his Freedom Fighters with a

strong defensive fortress that faces off against the Zhentish renegades, the orcs and other vile creatures

holed up in the Desertsmouth Mountains to the west.

The Map of Castle Enneth

NOTE: The map is, in some respects, deceptive. It shows the walled village of Castle Enneth and all that is in

it, but everything appears to be in good condition or to be a ruin. As mentioned above, this is not the case.

Only the castle complex itself has been fully maintained. All other buildings that are not ruins are in need of

repairs, in most cases substantial repairs. And for some that appear to be perfect buildings on the map,

repairs already have gone out of the question financially. Similarly, the farmlands shown on the map are not

in production. They have not been tilled for a dozen or more years. These are merely the fertile fields that

once were farmed successfully and, with work, that could be successfully farmed again.

The Walls:

Like the rest of the village, the stability of the walls decreases the lower one goes. The two lowest walls are

in need of very extensive repairs. If they are not made, many parts of these walls will collapse in less than

five years. Only the wall around the castle itself is well maintained or manned regularly. In times of danger, if

enough Freedom Fighters are present, the towers of the Village Tier also will be manned, at least in part.

The towers on the three lower tiers never are manned, but the Freedom Fighters keep all of the gatehouses

in reasonably good condition. Each gatehouse contains a portcullis that can be raised or lowered, and these

function on all levels, although the portcullis in all but the Castle Tier Gate are kept up and open except in

times of danger.

The Castle Tier (Top):

1. Signal Fire Tower. Maintained by the Freedom Fighters and used by them in times of danger. Weather

permitting, such fires can be seen in Black Switch, Green Orb, Dagger Springs and on parts of the Tethyamar

Trail.

2. Sir Delhorn's Castle. Used by the Freedom Fighters. There always is a permanent party of 12 Freedom

Fighters in the castle, and when regional units are staying in Castle Enneth, 5d12 Freedom Fighters more will

be there. The castle is circled by a bricked dry moat 20 feet/6m deep and 30 feet/9 m wide. Some water

usually stands in the middle of the moat.

3. Eye of Torm. This tower stands 100 feet/30 m high and gives the Freedom Fighters a view over parts of

Daggerdale up to 50 miles/80 km distant on a clear day.

Village Tier (First From Top):

4. Stables. These buildings need minor repairs, but they are in the best condition after the castle complex

above. The Freedom Fighters stable their horses here.

5. Siege Warehouses. In earlier times, grain and other non-perishable foods were stored here to sustain the

village in times of attack or siege. The walls have become structurally weak, and some roof tiles are missing,

causing leaks at rainy times, but repairs still would be feasible. The warehouses are empty.

6. Weaponsmith's Shop. The building is in relatively good condition, but with the stone furnace built as a

part of the structure itself, expensive modifications would be necessary to put the building to a different

use. Otherwise, the building could be restored at relatively moderate cost. There are neither anvil nor

smith's tools in the building.

7. Desert's Mouth Tavern. The building is for the most part structurally sound, but it did have a leaky roof

for a few years that the Freedom Fighters fixed one summer. During the time the roof leaked, the wooden

furnishings inside began to rot slightly, and the wooden stairway to the quarters above collapsed.

8. Blacksmith's shop. The description is basically the same as for the weaponsmith's shop, except that the

outer walls are in bad need of new mortar.

9. General Store. Most of the store's interior is of wood that has been exposed to the elements, and much

of it has to be replaced, but the building is structurally sound.

10. Wainwright's Wagon Works. Wood rot is a serious problem, but the shop is not beyond restoration.

11. Enneth Castle Inn. The outer building itself is structurally sound, but wooden stairways, walkways and

floors on the upper story all are in poor condition, and is some places, they are liable to collapse.

12. House of the Steadfast Gauntlet - Shrines. In Sir Delhorn's time, this structure was a temple to Torm.

The altar with his symbol of a gauntlet still is the focal point of the building, but Freedom Fighters who

worship Tempus and Tymora also have set up small shrines to these deities in other areas of the building.

Some maintenance and minor repairs are necessary, but the building is in generally good condition, nearly

as good as the stables.

13. Armor Maker's Shop. The description of the weapon maker's shop (No. 6) fits here too, except that one

of the wooden beams supporting the upper story and the roof is infested by termites. It's only a matter of

time until there is a collapse, if the beam is not replaced.

The Spring Tier (Second From Top):

This tier gets its name from the spring on the eastern face, which is the source of Enneth Creek, near the

ruin of the Chauntea Temple. Enneth Creek flows from its source through Black Switch, beneath a small

stone bridge spanning the Tethyamar Trail and into the Cold Rush east of the trail. Only one house and two

barns on this level are in ruin, but most of the other buildings require fairly extensive repairs.

14. Ruin of the Chauntea Temple. The abandoned temple was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm in

the Year of the Helm (1362 DR). Most of the roof was destroyed and the interior was gutted. The stone walls

still stand in most places, but they are unstable and always in danger of collapse. The temple is beyond

restoration and will be dangerous until it is torn down.

The Lower Tiers

All of the buildings on these levels were farms, most with barns. The buildings on this level are in need of

extensive repairs. Most roofs leak as well. About half of the structures that are not in ruin still would be

feasible to repair, although at substantial cost. The rest need to be torn down and replaced, along with the

ruins.

Cold Springs

Cold Springs est abaixo da colina aonde nasce o rio Cold Rush. A aldeia fica em uma depresso leve dentro

de uma paisagem de floresta esparsa ladeado por suaves colinas. A estrada que leva ao vilarejo nasce no

Caminho de Tethyamar a Leste. Ao chegar no vilarejo a velha estrada torna-se uma pequena trilha. De l

possvel vislumbrar as runas Sunstone a poucos kilometros ao norte do mesmo.

A aldeia est desprotegida e tem problemas ocasionais com orcs errantes , bandidos e Zhentish apesar de os

Freedom Fighters irem cidade com freqncia suficiente para manter a cidade longe de maiores

problemas. Cold Springs uma pequena aldeia agrcola que sobrevive nestes tempos difceis devido ao

comercio de insumos bsicos (farinha e cavalos) com DaggerFalls e Tethyamarside.

The Map of Cold Springs

1. Cold Springs. These springs, which bubble out of a hillside rock formation, are the source of the Cold Rush

Creek, which runs east of and parallel to the Tethyamar Trail, to a point south of the ruins of Castle

Daggerdale, where it turns eastward, flowing into the Ashaba in a gorge in the lower Dagger Hills (see the

Daggerdale map).

2. Harmon Dindel, Blacksmith. Dindel, hm, lvl 0, AL: NG, is a skilled smith, but those skills end with farm

equipment and similar items. He knows nothing about making or repairing armor or weapons.

3. Waters of the Dales Tavern. Smith Tyler (hm, lvl 0, AL: N), who earns most of his income as a farmer, runs

the Waters of the Dales, which is little more than an evening meeting place for many of the village's men. It

opens daily at 6 p.m. The tavern is too small to justify having its own brewery or malting house. Tyler simply

hitches up his wagon every five days and rides off to Tethyamarside, to buy a barrel of house brew from

the Billy-Stoat Inn. Travelers coming to Cold Springs will find only Billy Stoat Beer, at 4 copper thumbs per

quart/liter tankard, and cold smoked ham slices on dark rye bread, together with horseradish and a dill

pickle, at 5 silver falcons a serving.

4. Tomm Darty's Horse Farm. Darty (hm, lvl 0, AL: LN) runs a small horse breeding operation. The Asquith

family operation and the Equine Exchange in Tethyamarside are the only sources of horses for Dagger Falls.

Darty's Cold Springs operation is one of Equine Exchange's main purveyors.

5. Mill Pond.

6. Coldstone Mill. Miller Jan Hrethian (hm, lvl 0, AL: LN) grinds wheat, rye and spelt flour, and his hammer

produces thistle and sunflower oil. His main customer is Wendell Dunn (hm, lvl 0, AL: N), a marketplace

merchant in Dagger Falls, who comes with his wagon to Cold Springs every three days, to get new supplies.

7. Shrine to Chauntea.

Dagger Falls

Com mais um dia chegando ao fim no Caminho de Tethyamar, quando finalmente inicia-se a descida para o

vale do Rio Tesh. Mais e mais fazendas margeiam os lados da estrada, e, finalmente, ao chegar no fundo do

vale do rio os viajantes se deparam com a pousada, The Teshford Arms, a esquerda, e a ponte sobre o rio

Tesh logo a frente.

O rio Tesh segue para baixo das montanhas Desertsmouth no ocidente atravs do vale, e para as cataratas

DaggerFalls, diretamente ao sul da muralha da cidade. Estas produzem uma brisa continua agradvel que se

espalha por todo o vilarejo, tornando o clima mais ameno.

A pousada Teshford Arms (Mapa n 13) a nica com acomodaes. Pode-se tambm comer e beber neste

estabelecimento e no Red Rock Tavern (Mapa n 12), que est no lado leste de uma estrada rural a cerca de

135m ao norte da muralha da cidade

Map of Dagger Falls

1. Constable's Tower. Since the Zhentarim mage Ilthond was killed by the demi-shade Gothyl there, the

tower is said to be haunted, and dark, deadly magic is said to prevail there.

2. Garrison. During the occupation, these were the Zhentish barracks. They now serve as the Freedom

Fighters barracks. A floor plan is included on the FR Interactive Atlas CD.

3. Headquarters of the Freedom Fighters

4. Market Square. Since the liberation of Dagger Falls, the market square has become a bustling place that

fills with peddlers on Market Day once each tenday.

5. Forest Gate.

6. Thund's Rental Storage Warehouses. The former Zhentarim warehouses - the most secure buildings in

town - now are a rental storage operation run by Zeke Thund.

7. Lathander's Light - Temple to Lathander. The temple is headed by Mornmaster Harndarr Oryn. He is

served by 16 priests and three paladins.

8. Broken Dagger Tavern. This still seedy tavern is run by a half-ogre named Dynter.

9. River Gate.

10. Dulwar the Leatherworker, shop. Dulwar, a friend of Randal Morn, makes war harnesses, scabbards,

sheaths, bracers, clothing and crude but warm boots.

11. Fulgath's Caravan Supplies. Fulgath is widely hated, with a reputation for overcharging on everything.

His prices are triple those in the PHB. Since the liberation, times have gotten harder for Fulgath, due to

competition with the market square.

12. Red Rock Tavern. Dagger Falls' favorite watering hole is a Harper outpost run by the retired half elven

minstrel Kessla.

13. Teshford Arms Inn. The innkeeper is named Olavia Tsardruyn. The house is cold and uninviting, but it's

the only inn in town, and it still costs a gold lion a night for a room.

14. Dagger Falls Cemetery (unofficial)

Green Orb

The name of the village came from the small, green glass dome that once stood upon the old temple to

Chauntea just northeast of the village on the edge of the hills. In the 1340s DR, the puppet village leader of

the Zhentarim feared the low level but ambitious priest of Bane, Dreadmaster Delidus, who had built a small

temple under protection of Zhentish troops in the village. Delidus ordered the Zhents to destroy the

Chauntea temple in the Year of the Saddle (1345 DR), and since that time, there has been no more green orb

in the village.

The decade Delidus spent in the village was a time of persecution, financial abuse and terror for the native

farmers. By the Year of the Morningstar (1350 DR), the last of the locals had packed his or her bags and fled

or had died at the hands of Delidus and his henchmen.

Strangely, this was one of the few things Delidus could have done anywhere in Daggerdale that was

financially costly to the Zhentarim. Green Orb has miles of fruit orchards beginning in the village and

spreading westward, and it has a distillery where fruit juices are made into some of the finest schnapps

available west of the Impilturian swamps, schnapps that bring a proud export price.

By the Year of the Bridle (1349 DR), the Black Network had realized the price it had paid for Dedilus' mad

persecution of Chauntea's church in Green Orb and the church's followers. Fruit went to waste in the

orchards and the doors of the abandoned distillery slammed open and shut in the wind. The lucrative profits

that Green Orb Schnapps had earned for Zhentarim traders were no more.

Zhentarim assassins saw to it that Delidus paid for this deed with his life before the Year of the Morningstar

had ended. But the assassination did not solve the problems caused by the abandonment of Green Orb and

its orchards and distillery. It was then that a young, ambitious Dreadmaster in Fzoul Chembryl's service (who

died later in the Battle of Shadowdale in the Time of Troubles) came up with a means to resolve the problem

in a very useful manner for the Black Network.

Farmers from the Moonsea who were loyal to the Zhentarim and persons from other areas who had served

as Zhentarim spies and were in danger of being discovered were brought into Green Orb to revive the

schnapps industry.

As a result, with the exception of a few lean years in the late 1340s and early 1350s DR, Green Orb has been

the most prosperous village in Daggerdale, one that the Freedom Fighters now keep a close eye on. A good

25 farms are scattered across the countryside here, along with the orchards. The village has a smithy, a

schnapps distillery and a tavern (no accommodations) called the Schnapps Queen, which has two separate

guest rooms, one for locals and one for strangers.

People in Green Orb are suspicious of and closed to strangers and natives of other parts of the Dales. They

know they are viewed by many as traitors or "the enemy," and they aware that they live at some risk since

Randal Morn's return to power in Dagger Falls.

The majority of these folk had been followers of Bane until the Time of Troubles. In the intervening years

they rejected Cyric. Three different priests sent to Green Orb by the church of Cyric simply vanished, and

dead Bane's symbols quickly replaced those that the Strifeleaders had mounted in Bane's old temple. After

the destruction of Zhentil Keep, the people of Green Orb turned to the worship of Iyachtu Xvim.

A low level priest, Ruinlord Radargh from Xvim (hm, now priest lvl 5, AL: LE), came to Green Orb in the Year

of the Crown (1351 DR) and restored the Bane temple there, reclaiming it for Xvim. The interior of the

temple was burned out in the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR) by Lord Morn and his Freedom Fighters.

Radargh vanished - into the hills behind Green Orb, where he maintains a small, makeshift cave chapel for

the villagers who still worship Xvim.

The main Zhent agent in Green Orb is the town councilor Heldarm Dernesch (hm, thief lvl 4, AL: LE), who

also owns the tavern. Dernesch and other village leaders are beginning to believe that Daggerdale is lost to

the Zhentarim. However, they do not want to lose their rich farms, and they are trying to come to terms

with the shift in way of life that will be necessary to avoid their being evicted from Daggerdale.

Randal Morn's deputy governor, Captain Mestin Troll Durmark of the Freedom Fighters, in her last visit to

collect taxes in Green Orb, read an edict from Lord Morn stating that the villagers have very little time left to

integrate themselves as loyal Dalesmen, or they will be deported back to the Moonsea.

Dernesch and the others are looking for no new conflicts at present. Instead, many of the immigrant

villagers are trying to learn to understand at last what it means to be "good folk." It may not be surprising

that many of them are having great difficulty with this task.

Your PCs will not receive a welcome in Green Orb, but they also will not be harmed if they keep their noses

out of village secrets.

Map of Green Orb

1. Village Cemetery.

2. Mill Pond.

3. Grain Elevator and Storage Barns. A part of the Dagger Wash Mill (see below).

4. Dagger Wash Mill. The millstones here grind flour from wheat, rye and spelt grown in the fields east of

the village, and the hammer makes oat meal and vegetable oil from sunflower and thistle seeds. The miller,

Danus Treagh (hm, thief lvl 5, AL: NE), used to own and run the mill in Corm Orp in Sunset Vale. He was the

secret head of Zhentarim operations there, until the Black Network learned that a Harper agent from

Twilight Hall in Berdusk was given the mission to eliminate Treagh. The Harper still is seeking the miller, who

was spirited off to Green Orb by the Black Network in the Year of the Banner (1368 DR), and who was

magically given a new appearance.

5. Home of Heldarm Dernesch, the village leader.

6. Schnapps Queen Tavern. Owned by Heldarm Dernesch. On the east side of the building, Dernesch also

has a small malting house and brewery. His light, top-fermented house ale (which he has not named) is sold

only in the tavern. However, in the course of the evening, some locals who aren't occupying a seat at one of

the tables will enter with a ceramic quart/liter tankard with a tin cap, have Dernesch fill it, and then return

home to enjoy their nightcap.

Dernesch's employees live in the east wing, next to the brewery. Locals use the west wing, which is entered

through a rear door. Anyone else who enters the Schnapps Queen is seated in the main guest room, which

often is empty. The locals of Green Orb are not willing to mix with strangers, often out of fear that such

strangers may be ghosts of their Zhentish past coming to haunt them, or worse.

The Schnapps Queen has no rooms where travelers can spend the night, nor is there any other facility in

Green Orb with guest rooms. The only food available is thin, hard, smoked ham slices on dark rye bread with

lard and horseradish sauce, served on a small bread board, at 5 silver falcons. Dernesch's beer costs 3

coope4r thubs for a quart/liter tankard, and local fruit schnapps goes for 3 silver falcons a shot/0.1 liter

glass.

The Queen's waitress, Nella Weibhardt (hf, thief lvl 3, CE), who lives in a room in the east wing, has no fixed

prices. She starts out asking for what she wants and usually ends up settling for what she can get. If one is

bound and determined to spend the night indoors in Green Orb, a deal with Nella usually is the only road to

success.

7. Green Orb Distillery. The distillery is a cooperative, owned by master distiller Hieb Jenton (hm, lvl 0, AL:

LE) and the farmers of Green Orb who own the fruit orchards. Jenton was a successful businessmen in

Melvaunt, heading the distillery there, until his cover as a master agent of the Zhentarim threatened to be

blown, and the Black Network spirited him out and to Green Orb in the Year of the Shield (1367 DR). After

the fall of Dagger Falls to Randal Morn, Jenton concluded that the days of the Zhentarim in Daggerdale are

past, and he accepted an offer from an agent of the Iron Throne to keep his eyes and ears open on behalf of

the Throne.

8. Ruin of the Xvim Temple. All that still stands of the temple are the roof and parts of the unstable walls,

which threat to collapse soon. The interior of the temple was gutted by Randal Morn and his Freedom

Fighters in the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR).

9. Green Orb Keep. The Zhents built this small, fortified keep in the Year of the Boot (1343 DR), when the

late Dreadmaster Delidus was at the peak of his power. It had a permanent garrison of 10 Zhentish soldiers.

Since late in the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR), it has been in the hands of the Freedom Fighters, who have

a contingent of eight men stationed there. Some of the Freedom Fighters can be found in the public room of

the Schnapps Queen evenings, drinking local ale. The Freedom Fighters are not seated in the wing used by

the locals, who do not mix with them, although they do treat them civilly when they come in contact with

one another.

10. Ruins of the Chauntea Temple. Only the overgrown, charred foundations remain. The temple was

destroyed by Delidus in the Year of the Saddle (1345 DR).

11. Cave of Ruinlord Radargh from Xvim. After Dagger Falls fell to Randal Morn and the Zhentish troops fled

from Green Orb, Radargh hightailed it to out of the village. Unknown to the Freedom Fighters, he's holed up

in this hillside cave, which he's also turned into a makeshift Xvimist temple. Villagers bring food and

offerings to Radargh and Xvim, but the longer the Zhents remain out of power, the fewer villagers come to

him. It's only a matter of time until someone tips off someone else to his whereabouts.

Goldfields

The fishermen and farmers of abandoned Goldfields were known for their ingenuity, until a foolish

Zhentarim mage caused Tear Creek and the three small village lakes to go dry in the Year of the Spur, leading

to the abandonment of the village. The mage had been in the hills south of Goldfields, near the spring that

had been the source of Tear Creek doing experiments of a no longer known nature.

One of the experiments went awry, not only killing the wizard but also causing a tremendous explosion on

the hill near the source of Tear Creek, sealing the spring. The creek's waters found another path,

underground, and Tear Creek now flows about 50 feet beneath the ghost town, emerging again as a new

spring from a hillside above the old creek bed some 3 miles/5 km north of Goldfields, where it flows on into

the Tesh, as it always had.

The creek and the three lakes (the Zhentish who hale from the Moonsea area considered them to be ponds)

dried up within a few day's time and come back to life only briefly, when summer storms bring down rain

enough to cause flash floods. Within less than a year after the creek and lakes dried up, the last villager had

abandoned Goldfields.

During the latter years of the Zhent occupation, some of the abandoned cottages and farmhouses served as

shelter for Zhentish soldiers and for orcs and other monsters in the service of the Zhentarim. In this manner,

a band of dopplegangers serving the Black Network discovered the village, and they have been using it as a

hideout and base of operations ever since the fall of Dagger Falls in the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR).

A dozen fishing cottages - some of them in ruin - still stand on the shores of the small dry lakes, really little

more than large ponds, that an earlier generation of Goldfields residents created with a trio of bridge dams

on Tear Creek. The bridge dams all are intact, although the gears to open the dam gates are permanently

rusted into their last position. There are 20 farms spread across the relatively flat Tear Creek Valley east and

west of the village, most still intact, although some are ruins. Only four of these farms, one a ruin, are shown

on the village map.

Goldfields once had a tavern, an inn and a shrine to Chauntea. The shrine was gutted by Zhentish soldiers in

the Year of the Behir (1342 DR). The small inn - the Bountiful Sheaf - burned to the ground in the Year of the

Bridle (1349 DR), when a band of orcs in Zhentish service camping in the ghost town found several barrels of

sour beer in the inn's cellar and had a celebration that got out of hand. The Three Lakes Tavern still is intact

and could, at some expense, be restored.

Although there are no humans living in Goldfields, travelers coming to or passing by the ghost town will

believe they see several of them, most about to go to work on their farms or come in from the fields,

dependent upon the time of day. What they really are seeing are, of course, dopplegangers.

Any PC who is at all on the ball should see that things don't add up in Goldfields. The humans they think they

see have no fields to go to work in. The fertile land east and west of the village all is fallow and has been

overgrown with weeds, brush and small trees for nearly 25 years. Many of the buildings in Goldfields look

like they could be restored with some considerable work, but it's also clear that they haven't been

maintained at all in the last two dozen years.

If the PCs begin talking to the dopplegangers, they will claim that they're all former residents of the village

who have returned to reclaim it, now that the Zhents have been defeated, and that they've been in the

ghost town for only a few days. The dopplegangers also will open the Three Lakes Tavern if the PCs can be

convinced to enter. All they have to serve are two barrels of stolen plum schnapps from Green Orb, which

the dopplegangers will lace with a sleeping potion, save vs. magic with a penalty of 2 or sleep for 1d10 + 5

turns.

If the PCs can be put to sleep, the dopplegangers will slay them before they awaken and take their places.

NPCs of Goldfields

DOPPLEGANGERS (12) - HD 4, HP: 4-32, AC: 5, AL: N, Move 9, THAC0: 17, APR 1, Damage: 1d12, Saves: 6-10-

9-9-11. XP-Value: 450. Dopplegangers are immune to sleep and charm spells and roll all saving throws as if

they were 10th-level fighters.

Map of Goldfields

1. Three Lakes Tavern. If the PCs enter, 1d4+2 of the 12 dopplegangers in Goldfields will be in the tavern,

which is in useable but dilapidated condition. The PCs will be served the only drink available, stolen plum

schnapps from Green Orb. The schnapps is laced with a sleeping potion, save vs. magic at a penalty of 2 or

sleep for 1d10 + 5 turns. It takes 1d4 rounds from the onset until sleep fully sets in. The dopplegangers will

immediately slay and take over the shape of all sleeping PCs.

2. Ruins of the Bountiful Sheaf Inn. Only the overgrown foundations remain.

3 and 4. Occupied Fishing Cottages. Two dopplegangers live in each of these cottages, both dilapidated but

marginally useable.

5. Ruin of the Chauntea Shrine. Parts of the walls and the roof still stand, charred and overgrown, but it

would be easy to bring them to collapse.

6, 7 and 8. Occupied Farmhouses. Three dopplegangers each live in 6 and 7 and two live in 8, all dilapidated

but marginally useable.

9. Bridge Dams. The dams still are sturdy and reliable, but the gates and gear works are forever rusted tight

into the positions they were in when Goldfields was abandoned

Nettle

The trail from Anathar's Dell leads you down into a small and beautiful farming valley that straddles Nettle

Creek and shelters the village of Nettle. Just before the first bridge, you see a large combination grain

storage house and Chauntea Temple to your right. In the village itself you spot a windmill, a mill powered by

a waterwheel, a small inn with smoking chimney and a smithy. There are also about 10 farms in the village,

another 10 in the farm valley spreading out toward the west (not shown on the map) and 10 more

straddling the road to Upper Nettle in the hills above the village proper to the North (also not shown on the

map).

Map of Nettle

1. Mill pond.

2. Manfreds Smithy: Manfred Ronning (hm) runs the village blacksmith shop.

3. Nettle Mill: A halfelven miller named Darius Redleaf runs the mill, which mills various flours and presses

vegetable oil.

4. The Silver Nettle: The newly rebuilt inn and brewery is run by a human female named Rassa. The inn is

small, with only six beds at 7 silver falcons a night. Rassa serves local produce, beef from Upper Nettle at

prices ranging from 5 to 8 silver falcons. She brews her own Nettle Beer, which sells at 3 copper thumbs per

quart/liter tankard.

5. Windmill: An experiment built by the Brightblade dwarves of Anathar's Dell. Although the water in Nettle

Creek is relatively clean, mineral deposits between the village and Anathar's Dell upstream give it an off-

taste. A steady wind of 10-20 mph (16-32 kmph) usually blow through the valley from the East toward the

mountains. The Brightblade Dwarves built the windmill to pump drinking water for the village.

6. Grain storage and Temple to Chauntea.

Sunstone

Sunstone was a tiny village on Stone Creek, which winds northward east of the ghost town and flows into

the Tesh. Five farms were located on the creek, and four garden cottages belonging to wealthy merchants

from Dagger Falls stood atop a forested hill rising from the creek upwards to the southeast. Sunstone was

abandoned by the Year of the Dragon (1352 DR) at the latest.

In the Year of the Shadows (1358 DR), when the avatars came to Faern, a band of Malaugrym had

established a powerful gate in the ruins of Sunstone. They were holed up in one of the five abandoned

farmhouses but hunted down by Elminster of Shadowdale and three Harpers who later became known as

the Rangers Three: Sharantyr, then a member of the Knights of Myth Drannor, and two of Storm

Silverhand's students, Belkram and Itharr.

A battle followed in which mighty magic was hurled both by Elminster and the Malaugrym, who were slain

before they could return to Shadow Castle on the Plane of Shadows. Anyone who stumbles upon the

decrepit buildings and ruins of Sunstone today still will find the remnants of the farmhouse and the large

patch of scorched ground where the battle took place, although the soil is again slowly becoming fertile, and

small weeds and grasses are beginning to emerge through the black, magic-singed surface. What else might

be found in Sunstone today-- if indeed anything-- is unknown.

Map of Sunstone

The sight of the great magical battle is in the ruins of the farmhouse on the north side of Stone Creek. The

four remaining farmhouses at the foot of the hill, where they were sheltered somewhat from the wind, still

are partially intact and probably could be restored at some expense and effort, although parts of these

buildings may be structurally unsafe in their present condition. Moss is starting to grow across the roofs, and

wild vines are beginning to creep over the structures.

The wind-laced hillside cottages abandoned by the merchants are in considerably poorer condition. All of

them already have collapsed to some extent, and further deterioration will come rapidly. It would be easier

to tear down these ruins and build entirely new structures rather than to try repairing what remains.

Upper Nettle

Upper Nettle is 6 miles/8 km downstream from Nettle, but it is no village as such. The creek cuts a gorge

through the landscape, and Upper Nettle consists of six, spread-out cattle ranches above the gorge. A point

there where the trail from Nettle turns into a switchback cutting up the sides of the gorge and heading to

the ranches. That's the end of the trail for all intents and purposes. Beyond there is just the Nettle Creek and

swamp and quicksand to both sides of it.

However, there is more than meets the eye there. Shortly after the Time of Troubles, the archmage

Rhauntides in Highmoon, in Deepingdale, sent two of his students out on a mission to test the magic they

had learned, with the assignment that they help the Freedom Fighters of Daggerdale. Using powerful scrolls

given them by Rhauntides, the students created the swamp and quicksand, which are nothing more than

powerful illusions.

Before Randal Morn's reconquest of Dagger Falls, when the Zhentarim were a stronger power in Daggerdale,

escape routes often were the only thing coming between the necks of Randal's men and a Zhent noose. One

of the key escape routes in this area is a well-maintained trail through the illusionary swamp and quicksand.

Instead of swamp, the true landscape is a beautiful, rocky stream bed through which Nettle Creek flows

rapidly downstream into the confluence with the Dagger River. After one penetrates the first 50 yards/45m

of the illusion, it simply vanishes, and it's easy then to follow Nettle Creek all the way up to the confluence

with the Dagger River, a mile/1,5 km or so west of the Serpentsbridge.

The illusion, however, is both tricky and dangerous. If one group follows the hidden trail into the illusion, a

pursuing group will believe it sees the first group sink into quicksand, and it also will believe it hears the

rapidly sinking group members' desperate cries for help. No one can safely enter the illusion without

successfully disbelieving it.

Disbelief is no problem when a party has been informed in advance that the terrain is illusory. However,

anyone who enters the swamp believing it to be real has a percentage chance as high as his or her

experience level of actually making it through. Dual- and multi-class characters have a percentage chance as

high as their highest level plus one. Those who fail are convinced they are sinking in quicksand and do

indeed die.

Those who penetrate the first 50 yards/45 m will see 1d4+4 rotting corpses and skeletons of Zhentish

soldiers who failed to penetrate the illusion. True Seeing and similar spells that invalidate illusions are

effective against the swamp illusion, but those with permanent durations, such as Dispel Illusion, deactivate

the illusion only for 1d10+10 turns. To date, it has not occurred to the Zhentish that the terrain here is

illusory, and they have made no attempt to defeat or disbelieve in the illusion.

Map of Upper Nettle

1. Dabbert Harny's Ranch. Breeder of draught horses, donkeys and mules. Harny (hm lvl 0, AL: NG) inherited

the ranch from his father and has operated it since that time. He can recall a time before Nettle Creek began

backing up, creating the swamp in the gorge below.

2. Rulth Tardell's Ranch. Breeder of fine riding and war horses. Tardell (hm, lvl 0, AL: NG) is a friend of

Randal Morn and was an important purveyor of horses to the Freedom Fighters during the Zhent

occupation. When Zhentish troops came to Upper Nettle, they used to commandeer Tardell's finest steeds,

paying only a fraction of their true price, until Morn brought a visiting mage to Upper Nettle who created a

two-way teleportation door into the illusionary swamp in the gorge below, where Tardell hid his best stock

until after the Zhentish troops had left town. Tardell is one of only two ranchers in Upper Nettle who know

the swamp is an illusion.

3. Kevett Tuhrn's Ranch. Breeder of draught and riding horses. Tuhrn (hm, Fighter lvl 2, AL: LG), aged 60, is a

former Freedom Fighter in retirement, who received the abandoned ranch as a grant from Randal Morn in

the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR). From his days as a Freedom Fighter, he knows that the swamp in the

gorge is an illusion, having used it himself as an escape route.

4. Tarath Dulwin's Ranch. Breeder of quality riding and draught horses. Dulwin (hm, lvl 0, AL: NE) always has

earned whatever money he could, and so, he sold horses during the time of occupation to both Zhentish

procurers and the Freedom Fighters. He viewed the Zhentish as a band of skinflint horse thieves who paid

only a part of a horse's value and the Freedom Fighters as a rag tag band of hopeless romantics he couldn't

afford to pay more than they did. He viewed himself as the underprivileged horse breeder who never could

get a fair price, but had to sell his horses for what he could get, because there were no other customers.

Although the other ranchers are not unfriendly to him, they also do not particularly like him but simply get

along with him, because Dulwin appears to be there to stay. Dulwin noted with great and skeptical interest

how quickly the swamp developed in the gorge below, and it always has been his theory that it was a

product of Zhentarim magic intended to trap fleeing Freedom Fighters. He also noted how the Zhentish

horse buyers always ended up with Tardell's poorer stock and the Freedom Fighters with his better horses.

He doesn't know how that succeeded, but he takes glee in his certainty that Tardell earned no more than he

did, regardless of who got the horses in the end. Dulwin also has other conspiracy theories he gladly will

reveal to anyone with an open or captive ear.

5. Dulb Winton's Ranch. This ranch, abandoned for years, was obtained by Winton (hm lvl 0, AL: LE), an

immigrant from Ashabenford in Mistledale, under a grant from Randal Morn in the Year of the Gauntlet

(1369 DR). Morn wanted very much for Winton to settle in Daggerdale, because Winton is a contract

breeder of the famous new Sembian Stoalzaner horses, a prize race that is much desired by adventurers and

patrol riders. The Stoalzaner are a cross-breed of purebred riding and warhorse races that have the best

qualities of both. At present, Winton also has an exclusive contract with Lord Morn to sell all of his

Stoalzaner to the Freedom Fighters. The Stoalzaner are faster than war horses and tougher than riding

horses, with an outstanding degree of endurance. They can ride harder and longer than other breeds

without rest. The Stoalzaner, like mules, are sterile. Only the Moondale Equine Breeders Society of Ordulin

knows how to breed this race. What Randal Morn does not know is that Moondale Equine is a wholly owned

subsidiary of the Iron Throne, and that Winton is a valuable Throne agent whose main task is to use his good

relationship with Lord Morn to learn all that he can which might be of value to the Throne in the future. At

times, the Throne also may use Winton to plant ideas in Morn's thoughts.

6. Kilby Werret's Ranch. Breeder of beef cattle and draught horses. Werret (hm lvl 0, AL: LN) has lived all of

his life in Upper Nettle. He well may have some thoughts on the manner in which Nettle Creek suddenly

backed up and produced a swamp, but if so, he keeps his opinions on this issue, like all of his other opinions,

to himself.
