First Falls was a village in Thay that was the place where the Salamander War began.[1][3]
Geography[]
The village was located within the tharch of Lapendrar. It sat just atop the First Escarpment along the River Lapendrar.[1]
History[]
In the Year of the Prince, 1357 DR, the village was burned down by the salamanders and efreet summoned by the Zulkir of Conjuration when he opened a gate to the Elemental Plane of Fire,[1][2] beginning the ill-fated Salamander War.[3] Nevertheless, some of the survivors hoped to rebuild.[2]
Notable Locations[]
The gate to the Plane of Fire was not permanent,[3][2] but remained opened until after the destruction of the cities of Lasdur, Taskaunt, Murbant, and Thasselen. It lay on the opposite side of the ruined village from the river, and appeared simply as a 10‑foot-tall (3‑meter) steady flame sitting in the middle of a burnt patch of grass. It was protected by an honor guard of salamanders.[2]
Inhabitants[]
The people of First Falls subsisted on fishing and farming. They mostly worked in supporting local traveling tax collectors.[2]
