Triboar

Triboar was a town in the Savage Frontier. It stood on the junction of the Long Road and Evermoor Way, due west of Yartar, its traditional rival.

Geography
Triboar was nestled in the Dessarin Valley, where the Evermoor Way intersected with the Long Road. The landscape surrounding the town was lush and well-suited for farming.

Government
The town was ruled by a democratically-elected lord protector. His or her task was to command the town's militia and to settle disputes. The town's legal system was called the "Lord's Decrees" and the lord protector had the power to amend this system at will.

Faurael Blackhammer served as lord protecter during the 14 century DR, until he was killed in the fighting the tanar'ri forces that emerged from Hellgate Keep.

As of the, the lord protector was a Harper by the name of Darathra Shendrel.

Relations
Although the rivalry between Triboar and the neighboring Yartar was usually friendly, there were occasions when it erupted into violence over a particular incident.

Trade
Mountain ponies and other horses were sold in Triboar, along with harnesses and wagons. It featured a vast marketplace where local farmers, ranchers and roadside salespeople offered their wares.

Triboar was home to a number of guides, all of whom were knowledgeable about destinations anywhere in the North. While they offered their services for a few mere gold pieces, excluding the cost of food, they required a deposit that covered over a tenday's time. Noted guides of the mid—14 century DR included Borth Jhandelspar, Ilrin Sharadin, Morth Fartheen and Zandever Eyredanus.

Defenses
The town operated a defense force called "The Twelve", which consisted of this many mounted patrols that rotated in a tenday cycle. If necessary, the town could rally together a well-armed militia of fifty rapidly and three hundred in a day.

History
Mellenia before the Era of Upheaval, the giants and dragons of the North fought a great battle on the land upon which Triboar would be built. The giant-crafted relic known as the Vonindod was used during this conflict.

Over the centuries, it was the assembly point for human armies in response to the orc hordes from the mountains in the north along the Surbrin.

During a Greengrass festival in the late 15th century DR, Triboar was assaulted by a group of githyanki that landed in the village with their astral brig. The true reason for their sudden appearance was to deal with an elder brain that lived underneath the village. Both the githyanki and the illithid were ultimately defeated by a group of adventurers.

Rumors & Legends
The town's name was thought to reflect a traveler's tale of killing three boars on the same day. The lord protector's banner consisted of three black boars on a red background.

The god of rangers, Gwaeron Windstrom, was said to rest in Triboar.
