Gundarlun

Gundarlun was an island in the Frozenfar in the Trackless Sea, off the coast of Icewind Dale in the North.

People
Gundarlun was inhabited by Northmen.

Locations
The biggest settlement on the island was the city of Gundbarg, the "Gateway Port", with a population of 12,000.

The Dragon Turtle Inn in Gundbarg by the harbor was known as a place from which to hire captains with ships, as well as a hangout for adventurers.

Notable locations:
 * Gundbarg, the Gateway Port.
 * Berranzo, a failed mining colony.
 * The wreck of the Golden Crown.

Economics
The city of Gundbarg had an economy based entirely on fishing, farming, mining, and trading, as almost every ship to cross the Trackless Sea stopped at Gundbarg to take on fresh water and food, make repairs, replace crew, or exchange goods. The city provided all the services required by these seafarers, with inns, taverns, drydocks, and great warehouses, and maintained reasonable prices.

Great quantities of dried, pickled, salted, and smoked fish were imported from Vilkstead on the Purple Rocks, and sold on to cities on the mainland.

Government
Gundarlun was ruled by by King Olger Redaxe in 1370 DR, and was organized into fifteen holds. It was the only island member of the Lords' Alliance.

Military
Gundbarg kept a standing army numbering 300 warriors. They served as city guard and crews of the six warships commanded by the king. Each hold on the island had four longships of its own, each with a crew of 40 warriors.

The sea-going fire giants of Tuern Island occasionally raided as far as Gundarlun.

History
Gundarlun was colonized by Northmen sailing from the coast of the mainland.

A Calishite mining colony named Berranzo was founded on the western side. However, after circa 1330 DR, the inhabitants were mysteriously driven mad and killed.

Prior to 1370 DR, Luskan fought a war against Gundarlun, but was unable to defeat the islanders, as they were unable to defeat many others.
