Easthaven

Easthaven was one of the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale.

''The area of Easthaven is but one of many tiny, frigid villages clinging to survival. They endure, but it is a hard life, and the only war that comes to Easthaven is the battle against the elements. -'' — Everard,Trusted Sword, Order of the Broken Blade, Easthaven, Eleint, 1281 DR, the Year of the Cold Soul

Geography
The town was located on the southern shore of Lac Dinneshere on the east end of the Eastway that leads to Bryn Shander. Originally just a small hamlet, the building of the Eastway trade road to Bryn Shander proved to be a boon to the village which became the fastest-growing community in the region with a fishing fleet rivaling that of Caer-Dineval.

A breakwater protected most of the piers that reach out into Lac Dinneshere.

History
Akar Kessell murdered his mentor Morkai the Red in Easthaven.

In 1356 DR, the representative to the council was Glensather. He was a respected and even-tempered councilman, viewing the Ten Towns as "sturdy bulwarks against barbarism." During the Battle of Icewind Dale, Glensather waded into a group of orcs, killing two, but as he reached Wulfgar a spear drove into his back and tearing through his chest killing him.
