Caer-Konig

Caer-Konig is one of the towns in Ten Towns, located in Icewind Dale. The town encircles a round harbor in a semicircle, featuring terraced rows of houses that recede from the shore of Lac Dinneshere like the tiers of an amphitheater. Situated on the northern shore of the lake and not far from Caer-Dineval, Caer-Konig began as a camp for a group of mountaineers from the northern Moonsea region. As the camp expanded, a wooden palisade was constructed to deter raiders. Eventually, the stone castle of Caer-Konig was built, but neither the palisade nor the castle withstood the test of time; both fell to orc attacks and subsequently fell into ruin.

The fishing waters of the lake are shared with Caer-Dineval, yet fishermen often squabble over territory. The town's speaker, a heavy-drinking dragonborn named Trovus, patrols the area at night to keep an eye out for trouble.

Caer-Konig is completely surrounded by mountains, lake, and snow, making it entirely isolated except for a trail leading to Caer-Dineval and a ferry that once traversed the lake to Easthaven.
