Population: 3,000

Government: Lord Pelindar Filmyra,
Lord of Leilon. Leilon is a member of the
Lords' Alliance and a firm ally of Waterdeep.
 

This small human mining town on the
Sword Coast sprawls along the High Road.
Unlike most northern towns, it lacks walls.
A wooden palisade atop an earthen bank
shields the landward side, but the wall has
no gate.

The mines east of Leilon are rich in copper,
nickel and silver. The mountains are
honeycombed with mine shafts and tunnels,
including several that open up into the
town itself, and some that go very, very
deep. Leilon has no proper harbor. During
good weather, a dozen massive ore barges
are loaded in the shallows, then poled and
rowed out to unload their cargo on waiting
transport ships. Even in the best weather,
the operation is tricky.

This small human mining town sprawls
along the High Road, on the Sword Coast. It
lacks walls (an earthen bank surmounted by
a wooden palisade shields it from the landward
side, but where the road pierces these
works there are no gates), and also lacks a
proper harbor. A dozen massive, battered
barges are loaded in the shallows in the
spring and summer, and are poled and then
rowed out to meet ships and unload by
means of rickety cranes that rise from the
stems of the barges into their holds. Needless
to say, this is a fair-weather operation
only, and tricky even then if the wind is
fresh and the seas high. Increasingly,
Waterdhavian entrepreneurs have sent
wagons north to buy the copper, nickel, and
silver of Leilon at bargain prices and take it
south to sell at Waterdeep?s harbor. Leilon?s
mines are guarded by ?the Lances of
Leilon,? a force of some two hundred fullyarmed,
mounted lancers used to fighting off
pirates, orcs, bugbears, and trolls. Each
lancer carries an axe and knife, usually a
sword of some sort, his lance, and a light
crossbow which he is experienced in firing
from horseback. Leilon?s total population is
some 3,000; its ruler is Pelindar Filmarva,
Lord of Leilon. Leilon is a firm ally of Waterdeep,
and considered a friend of the Lord's
Alliance.  In the mountains east of Leilon's
mines is at least 1 important abandoned
dwarf-hold, "Southkrypt," said to be home
to many strange and dangerous creatures.
