Battledale

Battledale is a canonical Dale / Heartland Territory located in the Sembia & Dragon Reach, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

The people of Battledale are peace-loving farmers, shepherds, and foresters of no particular martial skill. Battledale is named for the many pitched battles that have taken place within its borders, much to the dismay of the folk who live here. The most fertile part of Battledale is the Belt, a region of fenced farms and cottages, orchards, and sheep pastures blessed with fish-filled streams and ponds. Stone tables sacred to Chauntea line paths and trails. A few years ago, a silver-scaled dragonborn named Volsembra led a group of families back to the ruined town of Essembra, where she took the title of Protector of Battledale and began the town's reconstruction, Volsembra commands the Spears ofB attledale, a troop of one hundred Guards who safeguard the town and patrol Rauthauvyr's Road. Battledale has no formal laws; folk tend to their own affairs. Those suspected ofa crime are tried by their neighbors, who mete out whatever justice they think appropriate. Serious problems can be brought to Protector Volsembra, but she has no authority beyond the town in which she dwells.
