History
In ancient times Tarkaldale flourished as a farming and mining community. When the Anauroch desert spread the region was abandoned to orc and goblin tribes. In 1360 DR a group of saurials escaped from their imprisonment by the god Moander and made their home in the dale. Later the Netherese drove the saurials away and took over the dale.
