Tyndal

Tyndal was a character of legend in which the town Daggerford was named after. The legend stated that the boy fought off a tribe of lizardfolk using a mere dagger.

History
Tyndal was the son of merchant. In 931 DR, he travelled north from Baldur's Gate with a merchant caravan. He killed a group of lizardfolk while armed only with a dagger.

Once he grew to adulthood, he married the local lord's daughter and appointed himself a duke. As a duke, he then founded Daggerford by building it on a castle-ruin. Tyndal's bridge, the bridge visitors to Daggerford from the south needed to cross, was named after him.

These stories were not mere legend but historical facts according to Darfin Floshin who was already alive when these events happened.
