Skalnaedyr

Skalnaedyr, named for its dragon founder, was the largest city in Murghôm as of 1479 DR. The city grew rapidly from a village in the 15 century DR and the city's architecture was a jumble of buildings and streets.

Government
The city was ruled by the elder blue dragon Skalnaedyr. He showed respect to his human subjects and allowed the residents a great degree of freedom. Skalnaedyr was rarely seen and his vizier Merwena handled the day-to-day operations of the government.

Notable Locations

 * Dragon House - A building owned by the Cult of the Dragon
 * Palace of Skalnaedyr

History
A plague among the dragons of the Copper Mountains in 1409 DR caused many dragons to flee the region. One blue dragon, Skalnaedyr, stopped to rest in a small village called Phannaskul. The frightened villagers pledged fealty to the surprised dragon, who agreed to rule the village. Due to Skalnaedyr's enlightened (for a dragon) rule, the small village grew into a city during the 15th century DR.

Background
Phannaskul's description as a humble village in the Fifth Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide is at odds with its description as Murghôm's second-largest city and a major military garrison in the Second Edition sourcebook The Horde.
