Harrowdale

Harrowdale (formerly Velarsdale) was the oldest of the surviving Dalelands. It mainly consisted of human inhabitants, as well as some elven and half-elven people.

Inhabitants
Inhabitants of Harrowdale were known as Harrans.

History
Between 1120 DR and the 1180s, the dale, then known as "Velarsdale", was often invaded by adventurers and hireswords, often coming north from Sembia, who would proclaim themselves "Lord" of the dale.

In the 1180s, Halvan the Dark seized the dale, and renamed it "Halvan's Dale".

In 1356 DR, Lord Lashan Aumersair of Scardale invaded and conquered Harrowdale in the second inter-dale war, but his forces were soon defeated. After the misfortunes of the neighboring Scardale, Harrowdale started to strive and became one of the biggest ports into the Dales.
