Darkmoon Plain, the part of Andoran where Falconridge once existed.

The logging town of Falconridge was founded in 4389 AR on a part of Darkmoon Vale1 now known as Darkmoon Plain.2 The town was abandoned by its last inhabitants in 4467 AR1 and is widely rumored to be haunted.2

History

Founded on a low rise overlooking bubbling mudpots on one side and a vast glade of darkwood on the other, Falconridge was the first logging community north of Olfden. The loggers of Falconridge depleted the darkwood in less than 50 years. For 10 more years the town lived along on the much lower profits brought in by its hardwoods and softwoods, but the founding of Northsap stole away Falconridge's best loggers.3

By 4708 AR, not much of Falconridge still existed. Only a small graveyard of tombstones, a low stone wall ringing the base of the low rise, and the foundation stones of several large buildings remain from the once thriving town. Occasional reports come to the Diamond Regiment of ghostly apparitions near Falconridge's ruins, but to date the Eagle Knights had not investigated the ruins as they were so far removed from civilization.3

The town of Falcon's Hollow, founded in 4573 AR, succeeded Falconridge as the region's lumber town and has persisted to the modern day.4
