Talk:Lonelywood

10th town?
The wiki currently cites the Icewind Dale video games to say that Loneylwood was the 10th of the Ten Towns to be founded. This is contradicted in The Crystal Shard (p. 23) and Legacy of the Crystal Shard (pp. 12-14). Considering that the video games are relatively poorly-researched (there are numerous such errors), this material is best avoided or, at least, edited to remove the claim that Lonelywood is the 10th town. --- RolphBremen (talk) 12:17, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for pointing out the conflicting lore. The erroneous statement has been edited. If you would like to expand and clarify any information about the history of Lonelywood or Bryn Shander, please feel free. The Drizzt novels are definitely not one of my areas of expertise.

 * This is not necessarily a conflict considering we dont get many dates from either sourcebooks or Sal. Lonelywood was there but was not officially recognized as a town. So this can mean there were conflicting claims between the two towns being the tenth. Shander as physically the youngest or Lonelywood as legally the youngest. -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 13:56, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Sure, although Heart of Winter specifically says there were no settlements at all in the area prior to the founding date they provide. -RolphBremen (talk) 14:04, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Don't remember any mentions in HoW but in 2 the book placed the establishment date vaguely between 1232 DR and 1281 DR and stated there were no settlements north of Termalaine in 1232 DR - a statement that can still be interpreted a couple of ways. And that lore was an IU book which means it can be intentionally misleading by the book's author. -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 14:14, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
