About Fal Dara
Fal Dara is a stronghold in northern Shienar that guards the approach from Tarwin's Gap, the route Trolloc armies use to come out of the Blight. Its lord, Agelmar Jagad, commands the garrison, and the whole town is built for war.
In The Eye of the World the party reaches Fal Dara through the Ways, then rides into the Blight from here. At the start of The Great Hunt the Amyrlin Seat visits Fal Dara, and the Horn of Valere is stolen from the keep.
Spoiler note: this guide mentions events up to The Eye of the World.
