Faydale is a lumber town that's built in a circle around the central point upon which it was founded: the seared setup of the spell cast by the powerful sage Elias Bent that destroyed a village to the north and created a massive crater which eventually became Kravys Lake. The runic circle's inability to be washed away by nature and continuing searing of all that is attempted to be placed upon it created an attraction that drew Kelselorian mages to study it, as well as the artifacts of Elias Bent until they were stolen in 61 A.W.. Due to this feature, Faydale surpassed the older Winleigh as the more population-centric town in the province of Zacet Forest. A school was founded, encouraging more intellectual occupations in Faydale. Faydale is split into three rings: inner, mid, and outer.

Noteable Residents:

Dismius Yev, Lord of Faydale and the younger brother of Baron Joseph Yev.

Quinn Powall, effective mayor of Faydale due to her position appointed by Dismius.

Augustus Perr, local cleric of the Lord.

Horace Kirzgus, Headmaster of Bent Academy

Noteable Buldings/Organizations:

Bent Academy - A three-story, longhouse-shaped building which teaches general and arcane education that is supplied from Kelselor. It is almost always active, even at night, and it's very near the Bent Marking, within the inner circle.

The Angry Trees Inn - A large, popular tavern that can seat around seventy people with its two bar floors and adjunct buildings for rooms on its sides, like branches to a tree. It has a very natural theme, with plentiful flowers and tree branches running along the walls, almost making it seem as though one is in a tree, as there are no windows. Though in the middle rim of Faydale, Angry Trees Inn is as old as the Bent Academy.

The Mastiff - A stone building within the inner ring and the largest building in Faydale. It is a miniature fortress, built long enough and wide enough to hold most of the citizens within securely should the town come under attack. Its upper floors consist of barracks, a meeting hall, and lodgings for Dismius. The wings of the Mastiff consist of the local armoury and the local vault, holding Faydale's treasures securely. Atop the wings are guard towers, suitably high enough to watch the majority of Faydale from above.

Hearth and Gather - A wooden longhouse that holds two wings with a circular room at which they are joined. The circular room holds stone in the center, with many chairs circled around what is effectively a singular chimney, called the Hearth. The Hearth and Gather's other wings are compromised of other small rooms, intended to be, largely, a place for cheap residence of both long or short term. Many people who lack local families but wish to start a life in Zacet Forest live here until they can afford to pay for the building of a home of their own. They offer the gathering at the Hearth at three in the afternoon every day, where the new folk of Faydale and the old can meet and learn of each other, exchange greetings and gossip.

Main Street - This road runs through all three rings of Faydale and connects directly to the Road to the south.

The Black Anvil - A stone building in the middle ring of Faydale, owned by the smith Abaddon Bruticus. The main room holds the shop, a wing on the side with the forge, covered by a roof, which is half of the floor of the second floor of the building, where Bruticus resides.

Rüger Smithing Forge - Similar to the Black Anvil, it's a building that is both a home and a place of work, holding a forge. However, it has a dark colour palette and features noteably Dark Elven decorations around the building's interior and exterior. It is run by Astral Rüger and located in the Outer Ring.
