The Lost Mine - Phandalin

Last Updated: April 26, 2023

The town consists of forty or fifty simple log buildings, some built on old fieldstone foundations.
More old ruins - crumbling stone walls covered in ivy and briars - surround the newer houses and shops, showing how this must have been a much larger town in centuries past.
Most of the newer buildings are set on the sides of the cart track, which widens into a muddy main street of sorts as it climbs toward a ruined manor house on a hillside at the east side of town.
