Just found Ierithymbul - a settlement - between Leilon and Westbridge in the FRIA; anyone know what it is, or where it is from?

Somehow I've managed to completely overlook it on all my maps.

Sounds like an old dwarven or maybe elven settlement.

The similarity between "thymbul" and Simbul leans more toward elven since Simbul was original a deity of the Yuir pantheon and so may have been some kind of fey creature (or an elf) or maybe a title of the elves.

I get no results from a search in any of my lore or google so its probably one of those places added by (i think) Eric Boyd in that patch he made for it. I'd ask him first.

It's from the 'Wyrms of the North' write-up for Palarandusk.

How on earth did you manage to remember that?

The secret to being a "loremaster" of the Realms has always come down to knowing where to look for stuff. That's usually a memory thing, but with regional stuff you can always narrow down the products to check out.

That and blind luck!

Its not spelled correctly - I used the speling that is on the FRIA map, which isn't the same as the one in the article...

Its Ieirithymbul.

This is why I research each location before I place it on the map - you'd be amazed how many mistakes have crept-in over the years.

Just to the left and a little below Ieirithybul is something called the "Place of the Unicorn". Is it a church, or just a natural (holy) site? Where can info on that be found?

Northern Journey mentions the Place of the Unicorn: http://www.nj-pbem.com/data/Places/PlaceoftheUnicorn.htm

It's also mentioned in a Wizards community post (with a 4e map): http://community.wizards.com/forum/dd-next-general-discussion/threads/4099286

As usual, they don't cite their sources. But it's possible that you'll recognize the map?

The entry from Northern Journey appears to be lifted from Volo's Guide to the North (pg. 107, 2nd column, last paragraph).

Ah, okay... I thought it sounded familiar. THANKS

Puts it damn close to Phandalin.
