Caer-Dineval

Speaker: Crannoc Siever - Lake: Lac Dinneshere - Population 250, part of Ten-Towns
"When last I visited Caer-Dineval, I found the town speaker livin' in an old fort at the top o' the road, perched up there like a lord in 'is castle. What's he lord of, I'd like to know. A little pride is well an' good, but never will I understand the vanity o'men!" - Beorne Steelstrike, caravan master

* There are 2 ways to Caer-Dineval. Alone the rocky shore of Lac Dinneshere or though the Eastway, to Loneywood, and a fairy up to town.
