Using the AD&D World Builder’s Guide, TOTL and DLCS books, I came up with the following information about Solace for my campaign. This is a first draft, so I still have some work to do. I am still missing some details so any suggestions are welcomed.

Any fellow DMs have anything they can add to my list? I am curious as to how other DMs described Solace in the WOTL period. Seing how the TOTL doesnt exactly have lots of information a DM needs, a lot of gaps have to be filled in. Comments?

Dragon helm says that you may have to wait until 2004 for the war of the lance book to come out.

There are a few things I noticed that need to be updated for a post WoS Solace. I think that the population and steel limit would have gone up, although thats up for interpretation. Also, Otik is long long dead by this point, and so is Theros, I think. I believe the Inn is now run by one of Caramon and Tika's daughters- Laura, I think. And the Seekers are long long gone. I imagine they've been replaced by one of the true gods, but I don't know what one.

Don't forget to include the Tomb of the Last Heroes. Thats a very important site thats in Solace. It being there also means that there is at least a small population of Knights living there at any given time as well. And a lot of kender, as they come to see the monument to Uncle Tas. :D

Other than this stuff, it looks pretty good to me.

Muttifoot,

Thanks for your feedback, and for letting me see that I forgot the mention that the info was based on or around the year 346 AC.
