High Dale

High Dale is a canonical Dale / Heartland Territory located in the Kingdom of Cormyr, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

High Dale is one of the least-known dales, but that's just how the people of High Dale like it. The dale lies along a mountain pass that leads from Cormyr and the town of Thunderstone to the town of Saerb in Sembia. Many traders take this route, helping to sustain High Dale. High Dale is protected by harsh terrain, a famous company of mercenary archers, and an ancient defense treaty with Cormyr. The political and administrative affairs of High Dale are managed by a high constable chosen by the people of the dale. The current high constable is Cordance Coppercroft, a gnome engineer who led the effort to revive the dale's exhausted copper mines.
