Phandalin is a small town located in the Sword Coast region of Forgotten Realms. It was founded on the site of an ancient city known as Phalorm, which was destroyed long ago. The town of Phandalin has a rustic atmosphere and is surrounded by beautiful green hills and dense forests. Here is a more detailed description: Fences and Entrance: As travelers approach Phandalin, they see a wooden fence encircling the town, serving as a security measure against potential threats. The main entrance is a reinforced wooden gate with a pedestrian passageway beside it. Dirt Streets: Phandalin's streets are narrow and paved with packed earth, making them somewhat dusty on hot days. The houses and buildings are constructed with wood, stone, and other rustic materials. Stone Bridge: A small stone bridge crosses the River Delmirev, which cuts through Phandalin in half. This is the primary passage to the eastern side of town. Ruined Structures: In some areas, ancient ruins of buildings can be seen, reminding visitors that Phandalin was once a more prosperous town. Stonehill Inn: This is one of the main gathering spots in town, a cozy inn where travelers and adventurers can rest and enjoy a hot meal. It is managed by Toblen Stonehill. Shops and Establishments: Phandalin boasts a few shops and establishments, including Barthen's Provisions, where adventurers can purchase supplies, and Lionshield Coster, which offers various goods. The Lost City: One of the town's main points of interest is its very name, 'Phandalin.' It is a reference to the ancient city, Phalorm, which was destroyed long ago and whose secrets may be hidden nearby. Phandalin is a town with a sense of community and history but also faces challenges and dangers. It plays a central role in the adventure 'Lost Mine of Phandelver' and is a place where player characters can find intrigue, opportunities, and adventure.
