Mistledale is one of the regions that makes up the Dalelands. It consists mainly of a grassy vale in the midst of the elven forest, allegedly created by a falling star. This is among the more peaceful of the Dales, although as of 1372 DR, drow incursions from the forest have started causing serious problems.

GeographyEdit

Mistledale covers a large stretch of land, reaching over 100 miles east to west and roughly 30 miles wide. Flatter than the neghbouring dales; the lad has been an area of rolling plains and open grasslands since the early days of Cormanthyr.[3]

Geographic featuresEdit

Barrowfields[1] Beast Country[1]

DefensesEdit

The first line of defense in Mistledale are the Riders of Mistledale who patrol the dale and protect the people from outside incursions.[3] These Riders are supplemented by a local and well-armed militia, who number about 200 active members and at least 600 more that can be made available, if needed. Both the Riders of Mistledale and the militia are based in Ashabenford[2]

Due to the widely spread settlements of dale, each hamlet is equipped with special bells that can raise messages of alarm or inquiry with nearby settlements. These are especially useful in the early morning fog that can fill the valley.[1]

TradeEdit

Situated along the well-travelled Moonsea Ride[4], many of the dale's farmers make their way to Ashabenford where mechants from Cormyr and the Moonsea often stop to buy produce and trade.[2]

HistoryEdit

Mistledale's recent claim to fame was the defeat of Lord Lashan Aumersair in 1356 DR (with the help of Shadowdale and others).[5]

During the Time of Troubles, the Riders of Mistledale were even able to rebuff an army from Zhentil Keep. However, they seem unable to combat the incursions of the local drow who are steadily growing in power.[1]
