Soubar

Village in Trielta Hills, Elturgard

Soubar is a lawless village on the Trade Way north of Scornubel, a way-station for caravans with no government of its own.

Caravans camp in the mud beside rough inns, nobody asks names, and in winter the place shrinks to an armed camp watching the empty road.

Overview

Soubar lies on the Trade Way south of Boareskyr Bridge and the Forest of Wyrms, north of Scornubel; on our map it stands in the Trielta Hills. Caravans stop here, but it has no formal government and a reputation for brigands.

Around 1489 DR, priests of Bane began rebuilding the Black Abbey, an old monastery of their god near the village. The work brought skilled workers and money, but it is not popular with everyone.
