The first official colony of Lizardfolk on Falanar. The Lizardfolk established the swamp based village late into their time on Falanar, eschewing anything beyond small tribe society until the expanding threat of the human society forced them to band together in large communities, protecting their ancestral homelands from encroaching invaders.
Whether or not every other race recalls history the same as the lizards do, however, is up for debate. Some speculate that the swamp lizards adopted a very war-centric mind early on in their society, smaller tribes being confederated into larger ones once defeated. This lead to a snowball effect until the largest tribes had to erect villages simply to ensure they did not collapse due to in-fighting.
Dankhold itself stands as the most advanced of the lizard settlements, though it bares ultimately no walls or fortifications. Dankhold is, instead, more of a region where the largest of the lizardfolk tribes have set up their dwellings. This means that there is almost guaranteed to be a small group of lizardfolk wherever you go, meaning sneaking into this territory is almost assured suicide.
