Prior to the civil war, trade was the driving force in Scardale. įollowing the resignation of Lord Beechwood the same year, Khelvos Dermmen, a cleric of Torm, was elected as Provisional Governer. Four members each were chosen from the cities of Chandlerscross and Scarsdeep, while the ninth was selected randomly from among the farmlands along the River Ashaba. Republic Īfter the shaking plague ravaged Scardale Town in 1370 DR, the dale transitioned to a nine-seat council led by a Provisional Governor in Chandlerscross.
Despite his political position, Lord Beechword constantly fought for the dale's independence and refused to allow himself to act as a puppet ruler for any one of the occupying factions. Considering the dale's parliament could never agree on an issue and he needed their authority before making decisions or taking action, he was left an ineffectual ruler. Myrian Beechwood, a former cleric of Waukeen who greatly aided the people of the dale following its occupation by these coalition forces, held the title of Lord during this period. This office of power was supplemented, or more correctly overseen, by 13 parliamentary advisers from those now-occupying nations, which included Cormyr, Hillsfar, Sembia, Zhentil Keep, as well as garrison commanders from the other Dales.
Supervised lordship Īfter the Second inter-dale war ended with the would-be-conqueror Lashan, the coalition of foreign forces who stopped the warlord created a provisional lordship for the Dale, seated in the coastal capital of Scardale Town. Government įor years, Scardale had been ruled by a line of rulers of the Aumersair dynasty, the last of which was Lashan Aumersair. Due to the tumultuous history of that city in particular, the power of the dale rested in its burgeoning farmlands and rural mercantile communities. While many of the towns and villages prospered, even during the coalition occupation and following recovery, there were settlements like Scardale Town that existed in near anarchy. Like most of the Dalesfolk, the residents of Scardale were sturdy, salt-of-the-earth types. While this tributary formerly had the most concentrated population of Dalesfolk, as well as housed its largest city, it has waned in importance over the years. The main feature of the dale was a the massive chasm known as the Scar, which enveloped the River Ashaba as it poured into the Sea of Fallen Stars. In the 15 th century, it finally succumbed to the influence of Sembia and thus, fell under Netherese rule. It has persevered through wars, enemy occupation and even a major plague where other dales, such as Teshendale, have fallen, Scardale has survived. Historically it has been the largest and often the most powerful of the Dales, the latter half of the 14 th century has been a time of upheaval. Scardale, labeled as one of the trading dales, was one of the valleyed regions that made up the Dalelands in north Faerûn.
