Government: Lord Pelindar Filmyra, Lord of Leilon. Leilon is a member of the Lords’ Alliance and a firm ally of Waterdeep.
This small human mining town on the Sword Coast sprawls along the High Road. Unlike most northern towns, it lacks walls. A wooden palisade atop an earthen bank shields the landward side, but the wall has no gate.
The mines east of Leilon are rich in copper, nickel and silver. The mountains are honeycombed with mine shafts and tunnels, including several that open up into the town itself, and some that go very, very deep. Leilon has no proper harbor. During good weather, a dozen massive ore barges are loaded in the shallows, then poled and rowed out to unload their cargo on waiting transport ships. Even in the best weather, the operation is tricky.
