Kzelter was a former garrison town supported by farms.[1]
History[]
The garrison of Kzelter was abandoned in 1347 DR when House Tethyr was destroyed.[2]
In Mirtul of the Year of the Tankard, 1370 DR, Teldorn Darkhope laid a three-day siege and captured Kzelter while the lord was visiting the court at Darromar.[note 1] The Knights of the Black Gauntlet fortified the fortress of Kzelter to hold it and wait.[3][4]
