We have one more "entry level" adventure location in Daggerford -- Harpshield Castle. Filarion Filvendorson is the heroes' contact for this adventure hook and he can even provide them a map of the area that includes the castle's location. The orc raids also trouble Sherlen Miller, so once again, the PCs will earn the constable's gratitude if they choose to investigate.
As with Julkoun, this adventure location can be run with little modification. There are also some further connections to be discovered here that will aid the heroes in their continuing adventures in the region.
We now have three starting adventure hooks (Lizard Marsh, Julkoun, and Harpshield Castle) that all include connections to Firehammer Hold. However, there is no script or plot forcing the adventurers to visit the ancient dwarven outpost. They always have other options.
Having wrapped up these starter adventures in Daggerford, lets head north and take a look at Red Larch. Because this village lies between Phandalin and Daggerford, it makes the most sense as a starting location for my sandbox campaign.

- The orcs at Harpshield Castle helped to excavate Bloodgate Keep and they know its location.
- They trade slaves for weapons with the duergar in Firehammer Hold.
- Wartsnak has the Delimbiyr Bloke, a McGuffin that will be helpful to the PCs in Firehammer Hold.
- There is an orc-keyed map in the treasure room showing the location of both Firehammer Hold and Bloodgate Keep.
