Geography
Edit
Situated east of the Crags and west of the Evermoors, Longsaddle surrounded the magical home of the Harpell family.[4]
HistoryEdit
Founded in 1042 DR by Shardra Harpell, an escaped Calishite slave.[5] In 1376 DR, two separate sects of the Malarite faith wanted to set up churches by the waterfront of a magically-created lake. The two churches immediately began fighting each other and the Harpells had to step in. Unfortunately, they couldn't get rid of them so instead they imposed a severe punishment on the more dangerous individuals: transmuting them permanently into harmless rabbits.[citation needed]
InhabitantsEdit
The community was famous for the presence of peculiar wizards who were eccentric and often dangerous in their spell-casting manners.[6] The Blue Sigil mercenary company is located in nearby Mog's Keep.[citation needed]
