Triel

Triel is a sturdy village defined by its massive log-and-boulder stockade. Located at a vital crossroads, it serves as a fortified storehouse for caravans traversing the dangerous Fields of the Dead. The village is cramped, with most space dedicated to massive communal silos rather than luxury. It is a place of transit where gates lock firmly at sundown and the law of Elturgard is upheld with rigid, holy fervor by armored guards.

History

Originally a simple rest stop, Triel grew into a strategic asset between Elturel and the Trielta Hills. It survived numerous undead incursions from the surrounding plains by fortifying its perimeter with heavy stone. In 1479 DR, it was formally absorbed into the theocratic realm of Elturgard. This shift brought stability but also a strict moral code and increased suspicion toward outsiders who do not follow the light of the gods.
