Tarkhaldale (pronounced: /ˈtɑːrkhɑːldeɪl/ TARK-hal-dale[4]), also known as the Lost Dale and the Lost Vale, was considered one of the dales in the Dalelands,[5][2] despite being located between Anauroch and the Desertsmouth Mountains.[6] It was sometimes unmarked on maps, but was located west of Shadowdale.[7]

History[]
In ancient times, Tarkhaldale flourished as a farming and mining community. When the Anauroch desert spread, the region was abandoned to orc and goblin tribes. In 1360 DR, a group of saurials escaped from their imprisonment by the god Moander and made their home in the dale. Later, the Netherese drove the saurials away and took over the dale.[3]
