Erlaskar

Erlaskar is a small town in the southern Eldeen Reaches . [1] [2]

Geography

It stands on the northern shore of Silver Lake on the western bank of Silver River , with Orien trade roads linking it to Xandrar in the northeast and Greenblade in the west. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Trade

House Vadalis has an enclave in the town [5] and hence is a major influence there, [2] so much so that the dragonmarked house effectively controls Erlaskar. Thanks to the house's reach, the town has regular commerce with the other nations of Khorvaire [1] and more sophisticated services and entertainments can be had there than in the rest of the land. [6]

Notable Locations

The Vadalis enclave is known as Erlaskar Manor. [7] It breeds and raises magebred animals and trains exotic mounts, [2] and also examined specimens of animals and monsters from across Khorvaire , with a view toward future breeding and training. [7]

History

During the Last War in 950 YK , a Brelish army crossed Silver Lake and seized Erlaskar, Greenblade, and Sylbaran . [8] [9] With soldiers sometimes outnumbering the citizens, the Brelish occupied the three towns until they departed of their own accord in 954 YK . [9]

A native of Erlaskar and Vadalis breeder, Tyris d'Vadalis was accused of performing unauthorized breeding experiments in and around the town. The leader of the enclave there took pity on young Tyris and, rather than end his career, packed him off to the remote Blackbriar enclave in Stormreach , Xen'drik , in 996 YK , before the formal end of the war.
