Mistledale

Mistledale 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

Mistledale is considered one of the most fortunate dales. Its neighbors—Cormyr, Shadowdale, and the elves of Cormanthor—are friendly and powerful, and a meteor that crashed into the land centuries ago made it magically fertile. The thick mist rolls that fill the valley gives the dale its name. Six councilors elected make up a ruling body called the Council of Six. They in turn select another individual to act as grand councilor and command the dale's military forces. The current grand councilor is Honorious Vinleaf. The villages, hamlets, and isolated farms of Mistledale communicate via sets of bells to send messages up and down the valley, an especially useful communication method when the mist is thick.
