I know Arabel suffered much devastation during the previous year's Goblin War, but I'm looking for suggestions as to how it should be portrayed to the PCs. It's been a long while since I read 'Death of the Dragon' and Denning's 'Return of the Shade' trilogy. I know they have some relevant lore on this subject, but the details are hazy. If I recall correctly, Denning described Arabel as almost completely destroyed, but with rebuilding taking place swiftly with the aid of the Shade. It struck me at the time that this take seemed overly extreme, and I'm interested to hear the opinions of other sages. Are any significant landmarks (particularly inns or taverns the PCs might visit) known to have survived the destruction? Furthermore, would Arabel be considered 'safe' territory so shortly after the war, or would there still be a danger of small goblinoid bands hiding out amongst the ruins? As ever, my thanks for your input. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
