Map of the journey

An old abandoned spooky manor in Phandelin. Secret hideout of the Redbrand.

Ancestral home of Aldif Chesendar, the Black Hawk, who died defending Phandelin from the orc invasion.

Sits apot an expanse of caves and a gaping chasm.

A castle in the woods where Dave Grohl is holding Gundren.

A cave in the woods full of goblins. The gang rescued Sildar from there.

An old hunting lodge in the middle of the woods.

Every full moon, the Harpers meet there for presumably dark and nefarious culty reasons.

That's where we started our quest.

A place northeast of Phandelin currently run afoul with dark necromancy.

The place we were supposed to take the cart.

Used to be a huge trade center because of a magical forge--called, I kid you not, the Special Forge of Magic Spells--in a nearby cave called the Rave Echo Cave. The SFMS can imbue any item with magic. Humans and Dwarves entered into an agreement brokered by Phandelver, called the Pact of Phandelver, to protect the forge and keep it's location a secret.

Then there was an orc invasion lead by a mysterious dark wizard who wanted the magic of the forge for himself. A huge war ensued during which the location of the cave was lost. In the aftermath, Phandelin became impoverished as it lost the boon of the forge. Inhabitants left, abandoning the town for more prosperous and less war-ravaged places like Neverwinter.

Every once in a while an explorer or adventurer will arrive in town with the goal of finding the lost cave, but so far, always with no luck.

Currently run by the Red Brand Gang.

A lost cave where the magical forge lies.

It's location has apparently been discovered by the Black Spider.

Current status: supposedly found?

An inn in Phandelin. Hangout of the Redbrand Gang until the Steel Reserve pretty much killed them all or ran them off.

Subequently served as a base of operations of sorts for the Blue Brand Gang.

Featured: Ep06

A very special forge of magic spells, located somewhere in the Rave Echo Cave. Can imbue any item with magic.

Dug is probably super excited about this forge.

A respectable establishment in Phandelin. The Gang spent the night there in ep06.

North of Phandelin.

Home of the Dendrar family.

Currently dilapidated, in ruins, and run afoul with necromancy and dark magic.

A young green dragon has taken up residence in the tower.
