Termalaine

Termalaine is often considered to be the most beautiful town in Ten-Towns. Its tourmaline mine produces fine gems ... when it is not flooded with monsters from the Underdark. Many craftspeople ply their trade here, proudly displaying scrimshaw and gemwork that can sell for generous coin. Lying along the eastern shore of Maer Dualdon, Termalaine has a bitter rivalry with Targos over fishing rights.

The town speaker is a lawful good half orc named Oarus Masthew who narrowly won the last election. As the adopted son of the previous speaker who still lives in Termalaine, Oarus has made some political enemies in town, namely he lacks support from the town militia, but more on that later. The town crest shows a fish swallowing a pink tourmaline gem to symbolize the fishing and mining trades, and the people of Termalaine sacrifice warmth to Auril-- lighting no fires on the new moon.
