Termalaine

Termalaine is the second-northernmost settlement of Ten Towns, the third biggest, and is said to be the most beautiful of the settlements, sprawling with tree plantings around the widely scattered houses that are placed behind rubble walls to protect them against the wind.

Any attacks from the north usually hit this city first, as the northernmost village, Lonelywood, is safely placed behind the forest with the same name, and the clear stretch of high ground called Bremen's Run passes right besides Termalaine, making it easier for any invading force.

Termalaine's main rival is Targos, and their feuds for fishing rights on the lake Maer Dualdon may from time to time end with bloodshed.

History
Termalaine has actually been taken over several times by barbarian forces. The infamous barbarian Heafstaag has conquered it twice, but they failed in their last try in 1351 DR when they were under the command of Heafstaag and tried to conquer all of the Ten Towns in one massive attack.
