Leilon

return to places

Leilon is a coastal city on the Sword Coast in Northwest Faerun.

Lore
Leilon is interconnected with Neverwinter and Deepwater through intensive trade and political alliance thanks to the Lords Alliance. These three cities form the bulk of human civilization on the Sword Coast.

During the Ashes End Incident, the few high ranking magicians of Leilon were spooked by the magical tremors unleashed. The mages asked their peers in Neverwinter to send military forces to investigate. When it was later revealed that the Groep van Droep was responsible, both Hagrid de mens de mens and Uwiphyx attained limited fame for their actions.

After the reopening of the Phandelver Mine, the city had to deal with great amounts of dwarven immigrants and travellers, causing stresses on the cities supplies and citizens.

Notable locations
While Leilon is mostly an industrial city, there are some notable locations within and near the city.


 * Great basin of Leilon, a large fresh water resevoir that pumps up water from a lake in the underdark. Despite being a feat of engineering, it limits the growth of the city as there is only so much fresh water coming into this lake.
 * Umberlee's Respite, a temple dedicated to Umberlee of the sea. Thanks to the naval culture in the city, the benevolence of the sea gods is an important thing to Leilonese citizens.
 * Fish market, the market square near the Great Basin serves as a large fish market when the fleets bring home bountiful catches. All sorts of fish produces can be found here during such a market.
