Hickoyrdale was a hamlet located in the kingdom of Callidyrr on the island of Alaron within the Moonshae Isles.[2][3][4][5][1]
Description[]
The hamlet comprised a dozen thatch-roofed cottages clustered along a winding but calm stream.[1]
Geography[]
Hickorydale sat in a wide glen on the edge of the Dernall Forest that provided pastureland surrounding the settlement.[1] To its northeast was the edge of the Drowned Forest.[2][3][4][5]
The village was located along a trail that branched off of the High King's Road in the county of Stagford in central Callidyrr.[2][3][4][5] To its north was a primitive road that fractured into many rough tracks heading deep into the Dernall Forest.[1]
History[]
In early Eleint of the Year of the Bloodbird, 1346 DR, Hickorydale's residents fled to avoid the wrath of the Scarlet Guard as they scoured the Dernall Forest for survivors of the Battle of Doncastle. The hamlet was the site of a brief engagement in which Robyn Moonsinger annihilated a small contingent of the Scarlet Guard with a wall of fire. This display of druidic magic served as inspiration for the survivors of Doncastle, allowing Prince Tristan Kendrick of Corwell to rally them to an eventual victory at the Battle of the High Kings.[1][6] This event also served to satisfy part of a prophecy that proclaimed Tristan as the future High King of the Moonshaes.[7]
