Leilon
Village in Sword Coast North
Leilon is a small town on the High Road between Neverwinter and Waterdeep, squeezed between the Sword Mountains and the Mere of Dead Men.
Marsh mist drifts in from the west over the High Road, and the town's walls look out toward the dark mountains on one side and the sucking mire on the other.

Overview
Leilon stands on the coastal High Road, with the Sword Mountains about sixteen miles to the south-east and the haunted marshes of the Mere of Dead Men to the south-west. It is a stop for travellers between Neverwinter and Waterdeep.
The town was abandoned after the Spellplague and resettled late in the 15th century DR, when it was rebuilt mostly in wood. Its closeness to the Mere means that travellers are warned to stay on the road.
