Editing Daldarr (section)

== Places ==
'''Guideline for locating places:''' Let's use Daldarr City as the center point of our map and place other locales relative to the city. For distance I think near (within a day's travel), far (a few day's travel), and distant (much further) are reasonable to start.

=== Alynsia ===
A powerful western kingdom that's technically a monarchy but runs more like a theocracy due to the sovereign influence of the Church of Solanthar. (Distant)
* Even further west from Daldarr than the Crimson Mountains.

=== Ashmere Village ===
A sleepy farming community, about a half-day's travel west of Daldarr City, along the Western Road to Valleyport.
* The Ashmere Inn serves as a small rest stop along the trade route between Dalarr city and points west.

=== The Crimson Mountains ===
A treacherous mountain range west of Daldarr, running north to south. A haven for renegades and bandits.
* The nearest point on the range is far (three days) from Daldarr's west gate.
* The narcotic mushroom Alache grows on the upper slopes of this mountain range.

=== Daldarr City ===
Capital of the Duchy of Daldarr, built at the mouth of the Daldarr River where it empties into Red Cliffs Bay.
* '''The Bronze Panther''' - a dirty watering hole in the part of the city influenced by House Isdar, a typical wretched hive of scum and villainy.

* '''The Fleeting Bowl Inn''' is an inn and tavern, popular with merchants passing though.
* '''The Fortress''' the common phrase used to refer to the city's main keep and inner defensive works.
** '''East Wing''' the section of the fortress nearest The Docks. There's at least one gate leading into the city from this section.
* '''Highwall Street''' a major road with better quality inns and businesses. It takes its name from the city's outer wall that rises above it.
* '''House of Blue Curtains''' - A brothel near the Water Market.
* '''The Keep''' is a colloquial name for City Guard heardquarters.
* '''The Olive and Eel''' - A more high-brow public house located on Highwall Street.
* '''Red Cliffs Bay''' lies south-east of Daldarr.
* '''The Red Duck''' - A dive of a bar on the waterfront, frequented by sailors and those that prey on them.
* '''The Steps''' is a section of river bank that's been reinforced with stonework. The poor use it as an informal bathhouse.
* '''The Water Market''' - An open air market surrounded by bars and brothels favored by sailors fresh of the docks. The market features imports from freshly arrived cargo ships along with the daily catch from the local fishing fleet.
* '''The Wavecutter''' a cargo ship that may or may not be in port at quay 14. Might be carrying amber and silver as cargo.

===Duchy of Kaasgard===
A dukedom to the east. Ruled by Duke Hemsegot. Currently at a ceasefire with Daldarr. (Far)

===Duchy of Vasterborg===
Destroyed dukedom far to the north. Overrun by foreign powers. (Distant)

=== Harana Islands ===
Densely populated island state. (Very distant)

=== Hidden Temple and Monastery Ruins ===
Somewhere to the west, towards the Crimson Mountains, is a hidden temple to some foul god (Vachbar). The undead guardians there have been destroyed... (by Lorash?) for now. As well, there is an abandoned monastery near the temple where several cultists of Vachbar have recently engaged in some kind of worship.
* Their apparent leader is the unnamed priest.
* Far west of Daldarr.

=== Valar ===
Frigid lands to the north of Vasterborg, with many barbarian tribes who continually battle with each other for scant resources.
* Valar is largely steppe and tundra.
* The barbarians who live here are noted for horsemanship, and frequently hunt by bringing down grass-grazing herd animals, riding them down on horseback and finishing them with javelins and slings.  Because most of the vegetation is grass and scrub, meat is large part of Valarian diet.  
* There is typically a Great Hunt before the first snows fall, to thin the herd rather than have the harsh winter claim them.

=== Valleyport ===
A town west of Daldarr, near the Crimson Mountains. (Far, at the edge of the Crimson Range)
* '''The Barrow and Spring''' – Expensive Inn in Valleyport
* '''The Bleeding Bear''' - A popular tavern, run by one Osvik, a rather helpful sort to the local scum.  
* '''Circus camp''' - a small band of circus performers (Gypsies, mostly). Their star performer is a knife-thrower named Teann. She is Lorash's ex-lover, and was not happy to see him when he passed through their camp whilst following Vinmar and the priest.
* '''Valleyport Ale Festival''' - A raucous ale festival.

=== Village of Oxenbrooks ===
Large village north-west of Daldarr, which was burned to ground for transgression of some kind. Fate of its denizens is uncertain.
