Auvandell, named after the human hero Auvan Arlandspyr, [1] was a village located on the road from Silverymoon to Sundabar where the road descends out of Silverymoon Pass.[1] The town clustered around an old, dwarf-built, Delzoun watchtower.[1]
Description
A small community lived around the gray base of the tower, a place of repose for travellers. The area around Auvandell was not so easy to cultivate. Goats and sheeps were the main resource for local agriculture, while apple and cherrie orchards were cultivated on the slopes of the hills. Two small mines in the nearby hills were the primary business of Auvandell. A foundryman produced copper, lead and iron ingots which were sent to Sundabar on heavy carts pulled by teams of oxen. [1]
History
Legends tell that the king of Delzoun would have commanded Auvan Arlandspyr to kill a dragon that dwelled right in to the tower. Auvandell wasn't so different from other villages, despite being the largest and the most defended. Despite Auvandell belongs to the jurisdiction of Sundabar, the village enjoyed administrative autonomy. Auvandell was governed by a High Sheriff , Jortheyn Serpentbane. Helm Dwarf-Friend ruler of Sundabar, granted Jortheyn his title and role in return for services provided to Sundabar.[1]
