Caer-Konig
The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval
We would like to welcome you to our homebrewed Forgotten Realms campaign setting.
Inspired By Ed Greenwood

Caer-Konig (pronounced: /kɛər ˈkoʊnɪg/ kair KOH-nig) was one of the towns of Ten Towns in Icewind Dale and like Bremen and is ruled by the barbarian Revjak, it has a population of 200 people. The town straddled the round harbor in a semicircle, with a line of buildings at the edge of the harbor, an uphill slope, and a circular round with buildings.

Caer-Konig was located on the northern shore of Lac Dinneshere, not far from Caer-Dineval, behind the shadow of the imposing Kelvin's Cairn. The fishing waters of the lake were shared between the two towns, but fishermen nevertheless often squabbled over territory.

The settlement was entirely isolated save for a trail to Caer-Dineval and a ferry that traversed the lake to Easthaven. As of the late 15th century DR, the town could muster a mere 27 militia members to its defense.

Caer-Konig originated as a mere camp, founded by a group of mountain-climbing travelers from the Moonsea region of northern Faerûn. Some time later the castle of Caer-Konig was constructed, though it was destroyed shortly thereafter by a horde of orcs.

Dorim Lugar was the councilman of the town in 1351 DR until he was killed over a fish sometime before or during the Year of the Worm, 1356 DR. His second-in-command, Schermont, became the new councilman after the incident. Schermont was known for his heavy-handed approach to rulership, and he held a particular grudge against Caer-Dineval.

After the war with Akar Kessell and the Battle of Icewind Dale, Caer-Konig was given to the barbarians. Revjak, the king of the Tribe of the Elk, served as "speaker for the barbarians" in council.
