Phandalin is a rather small but homely town located near the Sword Mountains, in the Southern part of Phandelver.
History[]
Phandalin was once a bustling mining town, back when Wave Echo cave was used. Since the location of the cave was lost to time, however, the town has fallen into obscurity, and is currently ruled by the Redbrand mercenaries, with townmaster Harbin Wester used as a puppet by the bandits.
Lately, however, Phandalin has seen some more life. Due to efforts by adventurers to rid Phandelver of bandits, coin has been flowing back into the pockets of its inhabitants, and Phandalin has finally seen some action.

In the northern Part of town is the Stonehill inn, a popular hangout spot for laborers and adventurers looking for a good drink or a meal. Right next door is the Lionshield Coster, a general good store run by Leon Hallwinter. In the north-eastern corner lies the Edermath Orchard, tended by an old elf, Daran Edermath. To the south of that lies the Sleeping Giant inn, a less reputable establishment frequented by bandits and other shady characters. In the very centermost part of town is the guard outpost, which has seen more activity as of late due to the town being taken back by bandits. It is currently run by Guard Captain Redgrave. More to the West lies Barthen's provisions, a mining shop, and the Shrine of Luck, a small church dedicated to the goddess of luck, Tynora, and run by the elf cleric Sister Garaele. In the Southeastern corner of town stands the Temple of Chauntea, goddess of Grain. The inhabitants of this town worship both goddesses in equal regard, and the goddesses smile on them for their piety. On the south side of the Wrenhaven river that runs throw town lies Alderleaf farm, a small farm tended to by the halfling Quelline Alderleaf; the Phandalin miner's exchange, where miners are based out of; and the old mill, run by the dwarf Vido Stoneblood.
