Phandelver

Phandelver is a settlement of mostly dwarves, a place of refuge after the fall of Ord's Pike. Phandelver, until recently, gained most of its wealth from mining and trade as a hotspot for all the guilds. After the mines fell to goblin occupation, Phandelver has struggled.

Government
Annually, the people of Phandelver elect a Townsmaster. The Townsmaster is the law in Phandelver, gaining his own quarters and a modest stipend of 50gp/moon. The Townsmaster keeps the only jail cell in town, and he is responsible for all of the record-keeping. The current Townsmaster is Gundren Bronzebeard, cousin of Gandar.

Phandelver has no standing military. Until recently, the village depended on a free mercenary group called the Redbrands for protection.
