Elupar

Elupar was a small fishing village in the Vilhon Reach, closest settlment to the city of Lachom.

Government
Elupar did not have an official leader nor government; however, the town did employ a sheriff. However, the position often remained empty as the village was a sleepy little place and offered little excitement.

Trade
Being the closest to the lizardfolk settlement of Lachom, good folk of Elupar were afraid of their scaly neighbors. Even though this wariness was irrational and fueled by nothing but stories, Elupar stayed out of Lachom's business.

Culture
Like other city-states of the Vilhon Reach, Elupar celebrated the festival of the Rotting Dance with a wild, joyful celebration. The festival celebrated the city-states' independence from Chondath. Even though the exact date of the liberation was unknown, the Rotting Dance took place every year on Higharvestide.

Defenses
Elupar did not have a militia.

History
From 900 DR through 902 DR, the Chondathan civil war later named the Rotting War consumed the nation. The grand finale of the conflict was the creation of a magical and extremely deadly plague that decimated Chondathan armies. The survivors took the plague home, spreading death. The devastating outcome of the Rotting Wars ensured Arrabar's loss of influence. All the cities of Chondath, apart from Iljak declared independence, becoming city-states. Even though Elupar was just a village, it gained independence nevertheless.

The village of Elupar re-appeared on the pages of history books in the when a cunning thief stole a legendary artifact of Mielikki - Yornar's Trail Companion, and sold it to Lord Lathamp of Elupar. This became known to Rhighaermon, and along with a half-dozen devotees of the Forest Queen, he attacked the Lathamp's palace's vaults. The book was seized after a fierce battle against the noble's Eluphan guards.
