Edermath Orchard was an apple orchard in Phandalin in the late 15th century DR.[1]
Location[]
The orchard was located on the northwest side of Phandalin,[1] and was a dominant landmark for anyone arriving into Phandalin from the road.[2] The trees surrounded a small group of buildings in which the orchard's business took place,[3] and the house of the owner, Daran Edermath, was nearby.[1]
Services[]
The orchard operated year-round, and thus always smelled strongly of apples. In the warmer months, the orchard produced fresh fruit and juice, while in the winter, fruit was processed into cider and other products. The orchard counted both visiting merchants and local food and drink establishments as customers.[3]
History[]
As of 1491 DR,[note 1] the land was kept by Daran Edermath, who would occasionally allow the orchard to be used as a place to rest.[1] By 1496 DR,[note 2] the orchard had grown into a successful business that provided employment for out-of-work miners.[3]

Notes[]
- ↑ Pages 30‒31 of Lost Mine of Phandelver describe the eruption of Mount Hotenow (1451 DR) as occurring "30 years ago", which would place the adventure in 1481 DR. When the adventure was later remade into Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk, this 30 year time frame was kept (pages 50 & 53). However, pages 103 and 179 of Acquisitions Incorporated, a source published after the former, state that the events described in the adventure happen five years after both Lost Mine of Phandelver and Princes of the Apocalypse. Since the latter is explicitly set in 1491 DR, and considering this answer by Ed Greenwood about dating the adventure, this wiki will use 1491 DR for events related to both versions of the adventure.
- ↑ Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Acquisitions Incorporated, but Jerry Holkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1496 DR. Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1496 DR for events related to this sourcebook.
