Maldobar

Maldobar was a small village north of Sundabar.

Geography
Maldobar was located 50 miles north up the Dead Orc River from Sundabar. A hundred miles to the north of Maldobar was the Coldwood.

Description
Maldobar was a small village. On the western outskirts of the village, against the mountain slopes, were the home and barn of the Thistledown family.

Inhabitants
The village inhabitants were human farmers. Usually one family lived in one house for many generations. The only threats to the village were the goblins and gnolls in the area who occasionally came to raid.

History
In 1340 DR, the Thistledown family were found gruesomely murdered in their house and barn. The culprit was believed to be the drow Drizzt Do'Urden, owing to the presence of his scimitar at the scene. However, the true culprit was Ulgulu the barghest. Drizzt avenged the Thistledowns by slaying Ulgulu, but despite the belief of Dove Falconhand and her band that Drizzt was innocent, Roddy McGristle continued to pursue Drizzt and defame his name for years and across many borders.
