Dagger Falls

Daggers Falls is a large, stone walled town in the Daggerdale region of the Dalelands.The town is situated near a steep waterfall of the same name.

Defences
Dagger Falls has a strong stone wall encompassing the town and whilst under the rule of Zhentil Keep boasted a garrison of 100 Zhentilar soldiers, 200 mercenaries and roughly 130 dalesmen reserves. Two gatehouses guard the entrances to the town, holding 35 troops respectively, located by the northern forest gate and eastern river gate.

History
The site was once used as a storage site for dwarven metals mined from the Desertsmouth Mountains to the east.

Dagger Falls has long been the seat of power for Daggerdale if only by virtue of it being the largest settlement. House Morn ruled the dale from Dagger Falls for centuries until 1336 DR when the Zhentarim agents deposed them.

The town was primarily controlled by series of Zhentilar-nominated constables who held it until Randal Morn's triumphant retaking of Dagger Falls in 1369 DR

In 1372, it still exists as a frontier town under the authority of Randal Morn, Lord of Daggerdale.

Notable locations

 * Constable's Tower: Named after the previous owner, Constable Tren Noemfor, this imposing tower stands at the highest point in town within the walls at on the north side. A persistent magical effect makes the tower unlivable; blasts of elemental energy occur randomly and the resulting damage is subsequently repaired by another reoccurring magical effect.
 * Eagles' Eyrie: This is a rocky outcropping in the woods south-west of town. The Bladebright dwarf clan has sacrificial altars here and still return to them on occasion despite their feud with Morn. An ancient, abandoned dwarven delving still lies under the hill.
 * Lathander's Light: This is the local temple to Lathander, sitting within the walls on the east side of town, facing the rising sun. It was burned down during the Zhent occupation, killing many of its occupants, but has since been repaired and recovered.
