Tresendar Manor and Phandalin History - A Traveller's Guide to the Forgotten Realms E002.

Welcome to episode two of our new series, with apologies for the delay in it arriving. Join us as we take a tour of the Forgotten Realms, the core setting of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.
This episode sees Falrien investigate Tresendar Manor, the decrepit former seat of a long-lost royal dynasty and the wider history of Phandalin. Phandalin is the core location to be found in the two starter sets for 5th edition: Dragon of Icespire Peak and Lost Mine of Phandelver.
While efforts have been made to minimise spoilers; this video (and series) is designed to give viewers insight into the locations and NPCs. A degree of poetic licence has been used in some descriptions, but most are direct interpretations of material found in the books.

This is very compelling. I know your video numbers aren't high on this stuff, and it seems like you put a lot of work into it, but I think the algorithm will bless you soon enough. Just keep at it!

[@TheLoreLounge]

Thanks very much. Unfortunately the last few months have really gotten in the way of this - too much work. But I've recorded the next episode, just need to edit it.

[@joesibenaller5067]

Very detailed! This series could carry on for a decade knowing the size of Fearun! Can't wait!

[@jeffreycrowder2866]

Seriously under rated and very immersive. Keep up the great work!

[@TheLoreLounge]

Thanks Jeffrey, really appreciate it. Share me around if you'd be so kind.

[@tomrusson6126]

I know I'm biased, but I think this is good

[@joshuafallon6786]

Haha, agreed!

[@sirmclovin9184]

Awesome video for running LMoP! Thanks!

[@ThePunk1500]

I just stumbled upon this channel recently and I find it such a shame to find this series end after only 2 episodes. I really enjoyed them.

[@TheLoreLounge]

Cheers mate. I currently have the second episode in the edit as I type this!

[@mazdnd]

This is such a master piece

[@davidbarnett1842]

i have ran Lost mines for our group, and am now running Icespire Peak. I would love my party to find these letters!

[@TheLalegagor]

So happy I stumbled upon your channel! I am an aspiring GM and have just started the adventure: Dragon of Icespire Peak. I want to be thoroughly versed in some lore surrounding Phandalin and the areas beyond as my players are quite curious. I want to be able to craft a realistic world that they feel immersed in and lore/knowing characters/economics/and society really help make the world feel real. These videos have helped me get into the mood and grasp a better understanding of the area. Thank you!

[@mromega335]

Epic work mate

[@nzapanda1]

Keep these videos coming! Just found this channel and am happy to add it to my DND videos list to watch!

[@TheLoreLounge]

You're very welcome Ninja, thanks for your kind words. More is coming, I promise.

[@christopherhayfield9672]

Very interesting stuff. Tresendar i thought were very underutilised!

[@TheLoreLounge]

Totally. One of my favourite PCs of all time was a half-elf descendant of theirs. She was wonderful.

[@jacktough]

Excellent work! First rate. Looking forward to more...

[@bindwoodgaming1621]

Really helpful, so glad this is up before I take my group to Phandalin

[@ScottHillberry]

Came upon this video researching lore for LMoP. Fantastic storytelling! The only thing I can't figure about Tresandor Manor is why the particular passphrase for the skeletons. It seems rather arbitrary (and mentioned nowhere else in the adventure). I'm deciding to just change the history of the Manor somewhat to make the passphrase more sensible (and discoverable).

[@NinjaTroll137]

Loving it! Playing this weekend! Great video, man!

[@onceuponapriori]

This series is excellent!

[@TheLoreLounge]

Thanks man, next episode out this week hopefully.

[@ryard]

@@TheLoreLounge Looking forward to it!

[@rob-donald6190]

Truly inspiring!! I Hope you continue with the tails of your adventures. Well Done!!

[@TheLoreLounge]

Thanks so much, next video out this week all being well. Giving some much needed flesh to some of the DoIP locations.

[@alexpeterson5809]

Love this!

[@johnnyneal5501]

Another great video, very informative!

[@rebekahrusson2312]

Love it, well done husbandy 😀😘

[@20storiesunder]

Loooove this style of video.

[@leannebutcher7716]

Awesome stuff. This is going to be very helpful for my first time being a dungeon master. I really hope you get the subscribers that you deserve soon. ☺️👍

[@anthraxhehehe]

Amazing, I love your descriptions!

[@SuouEtsumi]

This is very cool! And will be useful when I run the essentials kit. The adventure is definitely missing some lore! But its so overwhelming to look up lore of the sword coast. Love this specific to the area lore!

[@TheLoreLounge]

Thanks so much for this! 100% run the Essentials and Starter kits merged together if you can. They work so well together. Especially all the dwarf stuff taken together as a wider narrative.

[@HowtoRPG]

Very Impressive.

[@jeronimorocha]

Great curated work! Congratulations, Sir.

[@pelijer]

This is great! Both super informative and immersive

[@deancullen]

Wooo a new episode

[@davidpeacock8276]

Love this

[@michaellawrance226]

Loving the opening sequence. Another great entry

[@covuhain]

The first time I ran LMoP, one of my PCs ‘accidentally’ burned down the pub that the Redbrands used to hang out in.

[@TurboWulfe]

Lve these, thank you. 😎🤘🍻

[@ashwinnmyburgh9364]

I love these videos man! I hope this project keeps going and that you accomplish your goal of describing the entirety of Faerun! I will watch every episode.

[@stonechewer1227]

Truly resplendent work, if you appreciate the content from this channel make sure to thank him to spread the reach of their video :)

[@TheLoreLounge]

Thank you so much Stonechewer. Next video incoming

[@johngillan4475]

Thank you for your information video

[@dikkiedik9463]

Very hood video, you or the narrator has a great voice.

[@TheLoreLounge]

I am the narrator, thank you very much. More coming soon!

[@Jeromy1986]

Now this makes me wonder if Phandalin was part of earlier editions

[@matthewhoffman8575]

Is there more of this coming? Please say yes!

[@TheLoreLounge]

Hi Matthew, there is more: the next episode is recorded and editing should take place over the next few days. Hoping to have an upload ready in the next week.

[@lordjakel4076]

Cool vid, face reveal? :0

[@TheLoreLounge]

No one needs that!
