Kuldahar Valley¶
If you've never been to Kuldahar, and few have, then be prepared for one of the greatest visions the North has to offer. — Hrothgar
Kuldahar is one of the wonders of the North — the entire town lies wrapped around a great oak from which warmth springs, the heat sufficient to melt the snows around it and create a climate more to a southerner's liking. The roots of the oak give shelter to the numerous buildings of the town.
Notable establishments¶
The Evening Shade¶
Run by Eidan, a pleasant fellow — Kuldahar's primary tavern.
The Root Cellar¶
Run by Whitcomb and his handful of barmaids. (Greet Amelia for Hrothgar should you find your way here for a tankard.)
Gerth's Equipment Shoppe¶
Run by Gerth — a minor historian. He'll pay good coin for trinkets, documents, or books. He and Everard trade information on occasion, including news of magical relics lost somewhere in the region (see Magical Items).
Airship¶
In the shade of the great oak — a strange device that serves as the residence of Fiddlebender, an odd gnome alchemist who sells potions and antidotes.
Tower of Orrick the Gray¶
A tower within the town that houses Orrick the Gray, a mage of some knowing. He keeps to his own affairs but is said to deal in magic items.
Hjollder's House¶
A long-abandoned shack near the Ilmatari temple where Hjollder, a shaman from a distant barbarian homeland, has been lodging. It is whispered that he seeks powerful heroes for an unknown purpose.
Temple of Ilmater¶
Devoted to the Crying God — deity of endurance, suffering, and perseverance.
Conlan's Smithy¶
The town smithy, run by Conlan.
Arundel's House¶
The home of Arundel, archdruid of Kuldahar and protector of the great oak.
Urnst the Potter¶
A local potter's shop and home.
Road to the Vale of Shadows¶
The exit toward the Vale of Shadows to the northeast.
