Dougan's Hole The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval We would like to welcome you to our homebrewed Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Inspired By Ed Greenwood

Dougan's Hole was the smallest of the Ten Towns in Icewind Dale. It was ruled by Speaker Freya Grynstead. It comprised a meager grouping of buildings arranged around a pair of piers, one long and one short. The town was located on the western shore of Redwaters, southwest of Good Mead. Its northern edge was marked with a path of gravel.

Its residents aren't fond of visitors, and inbreeding has caused the population to dwindle in recent years. It also has given rise to often-seen physical deformities, including but not limited to small, misshapen ears and slightly pointed teeth.

The town is a small cluster of dwellings perched on the edge of Redwaters that is too small to support any industry—not even scrimshaw. Ice has buckled the shorter of its two piers, rendering the dock unsafe. The longer pier has two icebound keelboats tethered to it, though they're immobile because Auril's winter has frozen the surface of the lake for hundreds of yards around them. Local fishers have hauled their smaller boats onto the shore and resorted to cutting holes in the ice to catch knucklehead trout, which they depend on for survival. Visitors to Dougan's Hole are often struck by the eeriness of dark, humanoid shapes out on the ice, remaining silent and still as the wind howls around them.

The hamlet of Dougan's Hole was founded by Dougan Dubrace, when he found a great spot to fish on the shore of Redwaters lake. During the 1360s DR, the spokesman was Freya Grynstead, the widow of the previous spokesman who had died while fishing out on the lake. Freya lived in a house in the middle of town connected to the fishhouse by a boardwalk.

Perhaps the only noteworthy landmark of Dougan's Hole was the megalith structure known as the Twenty Stones of Thruun. These twenty granite slabs, arranged in an equilateral triangle that overlooked the town.
