These people worshiped the goddess Chauntea , through her aspect of Jannath , " the Earthmother " . Their settlements formed a small kingdom , ruled by the High Queen Alicia Kendrick as of 1365 DR .

The Ffolk were considered to have darker skin and hair than the Northlanders . The Ffolk had a longtime conflict with the other group of people who inhabited the Moonshaes , the Northlanders . The peaceful Ffolk were upset by the aggressive behavior of the Northlanders , who would raid the Ffolk settlements , and rumors still existed of Northlander raids . Northlanders quieted down somewhat when the High King of the Moonshae Isles , Tristan Kendrick , made initiatives towards peace between the two populations of his lands , initiatives which were continued by his daughter , Alicia Kendrick . Further advances in peace between the two peoples were brought about by marriages between Northlanders and Ffolk , almost forcing families to at least tolerate each other .

Freedom Riders The Freedom Riders were the military forces organized by Randal Morn to expel the Zhentarim from Daggerdale . After victory in 1369 DR , they became the official army of the dale . History . Randal Morn had been fighting for Daggerdale ' s liberty since 1339 DR , when he was a young man of about sixteen winters . Gathering a small band of outcasts , he formed the Freedom Riders , a rebel force whose single goal was to overthrow the Zhentarim - sponsored government that had ruled Daggerdale since 1316 DR . Their numbers increased to a hundred in the early 1350 DR s . About half of them were cavalrymen who fought on horseback ; the rest were mounted infantrymen who could quickly dismount and fight on foot . Being mounted provided them with the mobility to strike at Zhent - controlled hamlets hard and fast . As a guerrilla - style unit , the Freedom Riders never established a permanent headquarters , but they often used Castle Daggerdale and the surrounding hills as a base of operations . Their numbers increased steadily over the next few years as Randal and his officers , Lord Ariton Delmis and the ranger Mestin Durmark , went from hamlet to hamlet seeking support from the masses . Peasants and noblemen alike fought under his flag . Since most of these people did not own horses , however , and could not be provided one by the Riders , the creation of an infantry unit became essential . Some of the mounted infantry became regular footmen , but most of them trained to become true cavalrymen . Perhaps the most important development during this expansion period , however , was the addition of the mounted crossbowmen . They provided the Riders with a fast and powerful unit capable of both hit - and - run maneuvers and open battlefield missile support . By the mid - 1360 DR s , the Riders ' strength had almost doubled , and included fifty or so mercenaries and volunteer troops from Mistledale and Shadowdale . About half the Riders ' total were infantrymen . Unlike the cavalry , though , which somewhat depended on great numbers , the infantry had become too large to manage , and so were divided between Mestin and her former lieutenant , Reiner Trall . By the time of Randal ' s disappearance prior to the battle for Dagger Falls in 1369 DR , the Riders had peaked at a maximum strength of about 210 soldiers and mercenaries . During the days leading up to the battle , however , their numbers swelled to more than 500 , possibly even 600 , as volunteers poured in from every corner of the dale and beyond . The organizational structure of the Freedom Riders remained virtually unchanged since Daggerdale achieved its independence .

The caster had to touch the corpse or undead creature ( including gaseous vampire s , specter s , and other intangible undead ) . All undead creatures had a chance to resist the magic of this spell and , if successful , remained in place . Spellcasting undead had a much better chance of resisting this spell . Accuracy was the same as for the " teleport " spell and improved with increasing familiarity of the destination . Arriving high meant a fall of 10 ft ( 3 m ) at the very least , while arriving low meant 10 ft ( 3 m ) underground and was usually , though not necessarily , " fatal " to an undead creature . The caster could not choose to teleport high or low on purpose but had to choose a solid surface with a reasonable amount open space on which to land . Most of the Realms considered teleporting an undead creature into an enemy ' s house or castle to be an act of evil . A lich or other undead with spellcasting ability could use this spell to teleport itself . Components . Only verbal and somatic components were required to cast this spell . History . This spell was published in " Volo ' s Guide to All Things Magical " and became generally known to the magical community .

In one encounter with a group of orcs , Cattie - Brie almost loses her life , if not for the intervention of Wulfgar and his warhammer Aegis - fang . Meanwhile in Mirabar which the companions recently passed through many dwarfs are being alienated for their feelings of comradery to the dwarfs of Mithral Hall and honest competitors instead of their home Mirabar , to the Marchions disapproval and disdain of the Dwarves . A group of fifteen dwarves plus Dagnabbit and the companions go around warning towns of the dangerous orc and giant hordes . The companions defend the settlement of Shallows . Drizzt escapes over the wall to attack the giants that are throwing huge rocks on the town . The defenders fight bravely but they are quickly tiring . Breunor Battlehammer is laid low through the course of the battle and Dagnabbit replaces Bruenor in the defense and takes position wearing Breunors helm standing atop a large tower that frost giants destroy . Drizzt Do ' Urden sees the tower fall and believing it to be his friend Breunor . Drizzt engages a group of frost giants for the second time . He receives assistance from two moon elves named Tarathiel and Innovindil and their pegasi companions , Sunrise and Sunset . Regis has escaped from Shallows and has found reinforcements to help the defenders of Shallows .

They meet warrior dwarfs of Mirabar who left because of their leader Marchion Elastul s dislike and borderline hatred for the dwarves of Mithral Hall . Possible discrepancies . The book states on p . 291 that " Shallows was larger than Clicking Heels " , but p . 257 gives the population of Shallows as " more than a hundred " ( assumed to be no more than two hundred , otherwise it would have been given as such ) , while p . 50 refers to " the two hundred sturdy folk " of Clicking Heels .

Before the escape , Shallows could have more people than Clicking Heels , but during the battle of Shallows it could be only " more than a hundred " inhabitants there .

With his father slain by the Simbul , Imphras IV tried to hold the throne , but by 1296 DR , he was placed under house arrest .

In 1338 DR , Imphras died in a fire that also killed his father - in - law , the king , so he never ruled . Sambryl , his wife in name , took the throne as regent .
