Been reading the Dalelands by Rich Baker. He says Archendale has the largest army in the Dales. I'm wondering if Warmages can be trained in Archendale (it's not as detailed as Shadowdale, though). Thoughts? |

I don't know much about the Dales. I have read the 3rd edition campaign setting and Volo's guide to the Dales. There didn't seem to be any big reason they couldn't.
Archendale was described as very militaristic, so I think they have the right temperament to accept a military force of mages in their society. They have come into conflict with Sembian and Thayian forces in the past, so I think that gives them a motive to bolster their army with magic users.
The main obstacle I see is the dale's relatively small population, but that depends on how you handle "the Gift" in your world. Homegrown mages might be hard to come by if you follow Ed Greenwood's ratios. Archendale is described as wealthy, so they might be able to recruit foreign mages. |
