Cities, Towns and major trade villages of Izendorn:

Andorn:

Abandoned to the barbarians in 593, it has been the source of much speculation. Some say that it is still overrun by barbarian tribes while others claim that only the dead walk there now. Still others claim that it is the home of warring goblin tribes. While the remaining contingents of the Izendorn Guard may know the truth, they have been typically close-lipped on the subject.

Belladonna’s Cavern

Belladonna's Cavern is named after the gypsy Belladonna. This cavern is the pass the gypsies used during the great sleep to transport food and other materials into the valley of Izendorn. Now, it is their land grant home. Very few non-gypsies are ever invited there. The clan elders from across Izendorn meet every winter in these caverns to discuss inter-clan relations, a conference that always ends in a grand celebration...according to rumor.

Coatl Pass

In the snow-filled pass of the mountains between Galadore and Lanalor's Keep is a frontier mining colony where dwarves and dark elves share a tenuous co-existence within a wild and untamed wilderness, rich with mystery and danger.

Evil Castle

Rumors of undead and necromancy surround the so-called evil castle. What is known for certain is that the castle exists. No one who has investigated further has mentioned the fact.

Galadore

Galadore, the capital city of Izendorn, fell under a curse of sleep. There are many who seek the means to awaken their capital and, more importantly, their king. The area of the curse has been carefully marked to prevent any unwary travelers from stumbling into their own lasting sleep.

There is some confusion about the spelling of the name of the capital city. Some written works include the 'e' at the end but the modern spelling omits it. Either spelling is acceptable.

Lake of Sorrows

A lake originally filled by grief over a lost love has been the source of many stories. The wailing that echoes through the hills around the Lake of Sorrows drives some away and others to madness. Those who have gone to the source of that wailing have not returned.

Lanalor’s Keep

The retired knight Lanalor was granted a duchy for his loyal service. In habit of defense of his people, he made this keep its seat. He also worked out alliances with the local barbarian tribes. Sometimes those alliances are uneasy, and lycanthropy has proven to make silver more valuable than gold and the nights interesting.

Oasis

In a protective bubble (2 miles in radius), the Oasis is a world within a world. While some adventurers have been concerned that their strength is sapped by entering the dome, most of the beings in residence there are of similar power. This junction between the mortal world and that of the fae is ruled by Queen Althaea of the Oasian Seelie Court, Duchess of the Oasian Duchy of Izendorn, and her Aunt Queen Dulcimara of the Oasian Unseelie Court..

The balance between fae courts and now mortals create interesting opportunities for epic adventures. Stories of phoenixes, knights, sorceresses and speaking storms fill the nights at Oasis, while the days are filled by...other things.

Regency

The former Summer Court and hunting lodge of the sleeping king, this area has been re-built to be the seat of government for Prince Irilonde, pulled from the edge of the Galadore by a team posting warnings at the border in late 606. The Prince named the village that houses his court in affirmation of his intentions to awaken his father and return the kingdom to its former ruler.

Starlen’s Crossing

The town originally was a trade village called the Crossing because of it’s proximity to the pass through the eastern mountains. It was renamed to honor the generosity of the merchant who paid to build up one of his way-stops. This town of scavengers is further populated my merchants and craftsmen who have found comfort among others who value their work and always having a caravan willing to carry their goods handy.

The Black Jackal Brigade broke ground on their den to the north of this town in 606.

Talosi

The once ruined town has been reclaimed and rebuilt. The local problems with orcs and trolls that led the town first to ruins have been fended off and structures built to keep the slowly returning farmers and craftsman safe.

Whitehill

This once proud trading village a day's travel northeast of Oasis has been destroyed by warring orc tribes. Reclaimed by civilized forces in May of 606, it is now being rebuilt to regain its former standing.
