The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

Nestled within the frigid embrace of Icewind Dale, the Ten Towns cling to survival, a loose confederation of hardy settlements against the Spine of the World's southern reach and the Reghed Glacier's eastern expanse. Bryn Shander, the walled capital, stands as the largest, its speaker Cassius wielding considerable influence. Surrounding it are Bremen Targos, another walled town and vital fishing hub, and the isolated Lonelywood, among others, each a beacon of community diligence. These frontier villages, a haven for those seeking new beginnings, endure harsh winters and treacherous roads patrolled by highwaymen, orcs, snow yetis, and giants. A council of speakers from each town convenes in Bryn Shander, grappling with the region's perils and fostering a fragile, often competitive, unity. Though each town prides itself on self-reliance, the relentless threats of the North forge a tenuous, necessary alliance against the brutal landscape and its dangers.
