The center of Shavalant may be a single cobbled roadway and seven dusty cross-streets, but its wealth is definitely scattered across the surrounding 150 miles of gently rolling grasslands. Springing up around Tenneth Ford, the only easy crossing point along Shavalant Creek as it flows from the Ranruunwood to Silver Lake, Shavalant was the logical stopping point for ranchers bringing their stock to Orcbone or the trade road from Xandrar. The stockyards of Shavalant are one of House Vadalis’s key holdings. The dragonmarked house effectively rules the town, since its designated representative consistently wins election as village spokesperson.
Though the family that holds the Mark of Handling operates out of the Eldeen Reaches,one of the patriarch’s sons oversees an important house enclave in Breland. This enclave gives the house a bit more access to the central nations than it can manage from the Eldeen wilderness. Located outside the village of Shavalant, the enclave raises magebred creatures as well as mundane stock. It also boasts a remarkable animal healing center that serves many of the farms and ranches scattered throughout northern Breland. House Vadalis has a number of annexes connected to the enclave in other parts of the nation, including a major center in Sharn and a smaller ranch on the outskirts of Wroat
