Cities and villages

Info
Here you will find a comprehensive list of all cities, towns, villages and other constructions in Dale.

Major Settlements:
Dale: The capital city of the Third Kingdom of Dale, it is the largest Mannish city in northern Rhovanion. Here the King and the Royal Family resides in the Royal Palace, where the Royal Parliament also convenes. It is also a trading centre between the realms of the North, with its expansive markets and streets bustling with activity.

Lake-Town: A wooden town built on top of the Long Lake, its houses supported on large wooden platforms. Famous for being the location where Dalishmen fled after Dale was attacked by Smaug, and also the site where Smaug was killed by Bard the Bowman.

Ruarden: A large, trading city in Central Dale, north of the Dalish Crossroads. Here, travellers making the journey across the Kingdom of Dale stop by to buy supplies and do business.

Ankorien Poltzen:  Although not a particularly large settlement by itself, Ankorien Poltzen is a fortified town acting as the capital of the Earldom of Redwater. It is renowned for being the place from which Tankrid Ogh-Feandghainess commanded his forces to subjugate the warlords, and unite all of Eastern Dale.

Bardhaven: A city built at the intersection between the Redwater (Carnen) and the River Running (Celduin). Named after Bard the Bowman, for a long time it acted as the epicentre of trade between Dale and other Northmen living along the Celduin, including the realm of Dorwinion.

Slengmir: A large coal mining town in the south of Dale.

Vinburg: The capital of North Dorwinion, a port on the sea of Rhun. It is dominated by the Vinburg fortress, a stronghold built to protect the region from invaders and to garrison the Royal Army battalion there.

Minor Settlements:
 Tunnel's End (Village):  A moderately sized village North of Ruarden, a major trading city. It is the main producer of potatoes and wheat for the city, and is historically the site of a failed tunnelling project.

Montael: A riverside village in northern Dale, the home of Earl Martel.

Bredon: A village in Northern Rhovanion.

Maplewood: A former village in north-western Dale which became the location of the former Archon Anaris Engoria's summer palace. It became a stopping point for travellers in the region, and also as something of a countryside getaway and resort for nobles from the capital. Bringing with her the high culture of Dorwinion, Anaris built theatres and academies there for the gentry and intelligentsia who went to Maplewood. The town is rapidly growing into a city, however, and already rivals Ruarden in size. With the construction of Elizberg, the citadel of the settlement, Maplewood will be transformed into a full-fledged city.

Eisendorf: A village in the Earldom of Esgaroth, acting as a logging camp and breadbasket for the waterborne Lake-Town.

Stanthorpe: A village in North Dorwinion, near Vinburg.
