Orlbar
Village in The Western Heartlands
Orlbar was a village where the Loagrann and Greyflow rivers meet in the upper Delimbiyr valley; seized by the Zhentarim in the 14th century DR, it was empty by the late 15th century.
Empty cottages stand where two rivers meet below the grey peaks, and the shell of a dark temple still looms over the village square.

Overview
Orlbar stood on the north bank where the Greyflow joins the Loagrann, below the Greypeak Mountains. It was a sleepy farming village until, in 1369 DR, a Zhentarim caravan arrived and took over, and a lieutenant of the Zhent ruler of nearby Llorkh became its master.
A temple to a god of tyranny was raised in the village, reportedly with the help of devils. The villagers rebelled with the support of Loudwater. By 1485 DR, Orlbar had no inhabitants.

- The old temple in Orlbar was never consecrated to anyone else, and something in it is still waiting.
