Phandalin

Summary
The frontier of Phandalin is built on the ruins of a much older settlement. Hundreds of years ago, the old Phandalin was a thriving human town whose people were firmly allied with the dwarves and gnomes of the Phandelver’s Pact. However, the same orc horde that sacked the mines at Wave Echo Cave laid waste to the settlement, and Phandalin was abandoned for centuries.

In the last three or four years, hardy settlers from the cities of Neverwinter and Waterdeep have begun the hard work of reclaiming the ruins of Phandalin. A bustling frontier settlement has grown up on the site of the old town, and is home now to farmers, woodcutters, fur traders, and prospectors drawn by stories of gold and platinum in the foothills of the Sword Mountains.

Past Leadership
Phandalin was run for a short time by Sildar Hallwinter who took power from the former corrupt Townmaster Harbin Wester. Wester was jailed after the truth of his corruption was revealed by Expeditious Expeditions.

After Sildar took over elections were held. Trelena Stonehill was elected and held office for a year when a new election took place (they happened annually at that time) and she was ousted by Ysmeer. He held office for two years in which he abolished the term limit for Townmaster after his popularity led to the town wanting him to stay in office. Though he resigned a year later and threw his support behind a Gnome named Berjur Tingsbarrow.

Tingsbarrow was townmaster for an undeterminate amount of time before it was discovered that he was replaced by a doppleganger. This doppleganger was killed after it was suspected of killing the Prince of Coins.
