Fickling was a town in Gallantaria.
Description[]
It was a fortified town at the mouth of the River Eede. The settlement was dominated by a tall castle which sat atop Fickling Rise, known locally as "the Rise". This castle overlooked the sea. Below the castle was a small fishing village. The main trade of the town was fishing from the abundant Onyx Sea.[1]
Fickling boasted a tradition of fine apothecaries, one of whom supplied Tantalon's champion with an Invisibility Potion with which the champion was able to thwart the Brimstone Dragon.[2]
History[]
In around 178 AC the Netherworld Sorcerers cursed the coast with what became known as the Demon Fish.[3] This creature tore apart fishing vessels and affected Fickling greatly. As one of the twelve Tasks of Tantalon, the champion who would become ruler of Gallantaria, managed to catch the fish, bringing an end to the misery of Fickling and its fellow coastal settlements.[4] Fickling rightly boasts that it was in that town that the hero took rest for the night before tackling the creature.[1]
