silver dales from Anathar's Dell are also used.
Daggerdale is an independent region the size of a duke's fief or a nations's
province. Daggerdale can be further structured down to counties or districts the
size of a count's fief, and further on to dells the size of a baron's fief. Now,
Daggerdale is not ruled by dukes, counts, and barons, but for comparation, I
have structured the
Dale in a similar way. The counties of
Daggerdale are:
-
Daggerland county
Dhurland county -
Greatland county
Southland county -
Teshland county
From somewhere out there in the webs (I think that this was
written by Ed Greenwood):
Daggerdale's
shield:
"the ring and dagger" (has changed over the years, being at one time
gold ring, gold dagger with an emerald snake-eye and a scarlet forked tongue,
all on a lush green field, but nowadays usually ring and dagger both of a single
pewter [=dull silver] hue, on a royal blue field; as Merrydale, this region's
badge was "the holly ring;" a circle of nine red holly berries on a
leaf-green field, the field always being round, and bordered in blue)
