Tentholm is a fictional location found in the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. It is often referenced in various game scenarios and supplements. It is a city known for its trade and export of exotic goods.
In "The Swiss Family Robinson," Tentholm is a safe and elevated spot situated amidst the trees where the family constructed their tent to protect themselves from wild animals and adverse weather conditions. It served as their temporary shelter and lookout point while they were stranded on the deserted island.
It was named Jackal River because they were in Tentholm and the jackals attacked and they were right near that river. It was the river that brought them in from the sea.
The Swiss Family Robinson described the 3 houses as being built into a rocky cliff, each with different purposes - one for sleeping, one for cooking and eating, and one for storage. The houses were connected by a series of ladders and platforms, creating a complex but organized living space nestled in the cliffside.
A Tree House The Robinson family built a house in a tree after they became stranded on an island. This tree house was later named falconhurst, and they later moved into a salt cave. They originally lived in a tent on the beach were they crashed, but found it to worrisome and dangerous.
