Balfol is one of the Twin Cities of the Beasteloch. Balfol, and Vilful sit on opposite sides of a gorge, which the River Arter once ran through. The River Arter was dammed by Erzwife soldiers looking to rebel from King-that-Kills-Kings Ristt Blot, redirecting the river to Erzwife, which was renamed Damtonne. Both cities are fine by this since Damtonne pays hefty taxes to Calthoss for damming the river, and have also joined her and the Duke Sweet Home Castle in open rebellion against Crahia. Balfol was on the side of Calthoss when she was in conflict with her brother. Later, the city was invaded by Farro.
