Where is Baerlon?
Baerlon lies south-west of Shadar Logoth, about 380 miles (610 km) away as the crow flies. It is part of Andor.
About Baerlon
Baerlon lies north of the Two Rivers on the road out of the district, near the mines of the Mountains of Mist. It is a walled town of timber and stone, much larger than anything Rand and his friends have seen before.
In The Eye of the World the group shelters at the Stag and Lion inn, where Rand and Perrin first meet Min Farshaw. Whitecloaks of the Children of the Light are also in town, and trouble with them pushes the party to leave quickly toward the east.
Spoiler note: this guide mentions events up to The Eye of the World.
