Easting (town)

Easting was a small town in the Western Heartlands, lying east of Iriaebor, whence it got its name.

Description
Easting was the home of the great sage, Rulthaven, who was an expert botanist. It was also home to several horse breeders who often traded with communities of the Sword Coast. The small town had a large non-human population, and so became a meeting place for dwarves.

The dwarves of Easting were allied with the Bruenghor Clan of the Sunset Mountains.

History
In 1374 DR, the Bruenghor Clan of the Sunset Mountains tried to light a signal fire on Mount Burning Eye, as their mines had been invaded by drow. They had hoped to alert their brothers in Easting to rush to their aid. Unfortunately, their march to the peak of Burning Eye was cut off by Ciraxis and a group of ogres.

Notable Locations

The building was open, with a simple altar standing in its center and a statue of the Goddess surrounded by lambs standing at the front doors.
