Dynnegall

Town in Moonshae Isles

Dynnegall is a small village on a marshy lake on the island of Moray in the Moonshae Isles, said by the soldiers posted there to be the most dangerous post in the islands.

Peat smoke hangs over a marshy lakeshore, soldiers pace a battered stockade, and the dark hills beyond hide the war bands that have burned the village before.

Overview

Dynnegall lies on the north-east shore of Lac Dynnegall, about fifteen miles south of Caer Moray along a poor dirt track through the Shannyth valley. The lake and the nearby Breasal Marsh give the villagers peat for fuel and kryne, a nourishing plant.

The village has been wiped out by monsters several times, and in the late 15th century DR it suffered attacks by the Black Blood Tribe several times a year. The high king's soldiers keep trade flowing to and from it, and those who survive a posting there come home with plenty of stories.
