Phlan
is a small city of about 3,000 located in the northern section of the Moonsea
region at the mouth of the Stojanow River. Founded over 1,000 years ago, a series
of destruction and rebuilding has led to the city being walled off into a
destroyed, ruined Old Phlan and a rebuilt, shining Civilized Phlan. Phlan is
noteworthy not only for its stubbornness but also as the location of the fabled
Pool of Radiance, source of power of the otherworldly Tyranthraxus. The town is
currently rebuilding from the devastating Dragon Run of 1306 DR and is growing
even more popular as a stop for caravans and ships with recent troubles with
Hillsfar, and adventuring is encouraged through the crumbling ruins of Old Phlan.
Local points of interest include the ruins of Valjevo Castle, once one of the
largest castles in Faerun. Although the idea of rebuilding the castle has been
floated, most citizens are wary of what may lurk in it. Valhingen Graveyard, north of
the city, is rumored to contain powerful undead, and most fear to go there at
night. Finally, the only fully functional temple in the city is The Waiting, a
temple of Tyr.
