Deepingdale

Deepingdale is a canonical Dale / Heartland Territory located in the The Dalelands, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

Deepingdale was founded by a sorcerer named Imryll Eluarshee. More than any other dale, Deepingdale is dedicated to respecting the forest and living in it without destroying it. Most families in Deepingdale include both humans and elves, and the dale boasts a small community of drow who worship Eilistraee and other good gods. The people of Deepingdale are foresters, hunters, trappers, and rangers; the forest provides everything they need, so long as they don't abuse it or take its gifts for granted. The high elf Lord Theremen Ulath has ruled Deepingdale for almost two centuries, and his palace—the Tower of the Rising Moon in the town of Highmoon—is a destination for elves throughout the Heartlands. An informal militia called the Wardens of Deepingdale, quick to act and respected throughout the dales, protects the dale when necessary.
