Termalaine

Termalaine was the second-northernmost settlement of Ten Towns, and the third largest in the region.

History
The city of Termalaine was taken over several times by barbarian forces. The infamous barbarian Heafstaag conquered it twice, but failed in his last try in 1351 DR when Heafstaag tried to conquer all of the Ten Towns in one massive attack.

Structure
One of the most beautiful of the settlements in Icewind Dale, Termalaine had sprawling tree plantings around the widely scattered houses, which were placed behind rubble walls to protect the structures against the wind.

Government
A long standing councilman was Agorwal, who was injured and survived the orc invasion sent by Akar Kessell in 1356 DR.

Relationships
Termalaine's main rival was Targos, and their feuds for fishing rights on Maer Dualdon from time to time ended in bloodshed.

Defenses
Throughout history attacks from the north usually hit Termalaine first since the other northernmost village, Lonelywood, was safely placed behind a forest. Termalaine was also vulnerable to attack because of the clear stretch of high ground called Bremen's Run which passed right beside the community. In time of war, the city could call upon around 100 to 500 human militia who fought with dwarven weapons and wore lightweight armor.
