The Maps of Myrist: Southern
This royal lakeside hamlet was founded after the destruction of the ancient forest Elddar on the continent of Antonica. It was named after the Koada`Dal hero Alissa Felwithe who led her people to Faydwer in those dark years and helped to secure the Greater Faydark as the new homeland of Tunare's children.
The city was built by the Koada`Dal with the assistance of dwarves; its construction a combination of beautiful and delicate magical elf work and earthy dwarven labor. Buildings mix unpainted heavy wooden support beams with plain white-washed walls. There is a "fantastic" quality fostered by multicolored paints, the liberal use of gems and precious metals, and mysterious magical carvings.
Many shops, taverns and inns accommodate the constant influx of visitors. These establishments also outfit and supply the steady flow of adventurers that emerge from the guildhalls of Felwithe. One of the most notable shops is Faydark's Bane, a well-built wooden building owned and operated by Tolis Fearnone. A then-young King Tearis Thex knighted Tolis after he slew a horde of orcs threatening Felwithe during its construction. Now old and gray, Tolis is known for his well-crafted longswords, favorites of Norrath's elven swordsmen.
A crystalline moat surrounds the whole of Felwithe. Just beyond the moat to the south, an enormous white marble gate leads out to the Greater Faydark Forest. The passage from the north party of the city to the south can be found beyond the small pond that empties into the moat.
