Is there a better description anywhere on Hlondeth and the ruling family/factions/guilds other than the main FR book or Serpent Kingdoms? I'm running a campaign in the Villhon Reach/Sespech/Chondalwood, and the PC's are heading to Hlondeth for the first time. They're tangling with Yuan-ti (backed by a sarrukh, but they don't know that yet!), but I'd love a better description than, "As your boat pulls up to the harbor, you see a huge city..." Or is there a good City/Town generator around I can use for a basis? I'll eventually need the same thing for Ormpetetar in Sespech.

Thanks!!

See the Vilhon Reach (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads) accessory and Lisa Smedman's "House of Serpents" trilogy.

Yep, the Vilhon Reach boxed set will be VERY valuable for you. It will still leave a bunch for you to work out yourself but it provides a structure for you to build off of.

Further, there is some political intrigue between Hlondeth and Sespech since Baron Foesmasher's (I forget his actual name, foesmasher is just a nickname) daughter is engaged to . . . oh. . . I forget his name, the son of the ruler of Hlondeth.

There's really a TON of intrigue just waiting to be exploited. :D

Awesome! Thank you so much! I've done what research I could with the tools I've got, but there's not much detail. This looks like exactly what I need!!

And Baron Thurgar's daughter's name is Glysina ::grin:: Oh, yes, I've tied that in, too. One PC is from Elbulder, in service to the Sespech military (fighter), one a wild-elf from the Chondalwood (ranger), and one a half-elf from the Winterwood (sorcerer).

Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!
