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