Falden

Falden refers to a fictional location that appears in the fantasy novel "The Dragon Reborn" by Robert Jordan, which is part of the Wheel of Time series. Within the narrative, Falden is a city situated in the region of Altara, a land known for its arid climate and strategic importance. The city of Falden is described as a significant trading hub, benefiting from its position along a major trade route. It is characterized by its distinctive architecture, often depicted with white-washed buildings and narrow, winding streets, typical of many southern cities in the Wheel of Time world.

The city plays a role in the unfolding plot as various characters pass through or interact with its inhabitants. Its strategic location makes it a point of interest for different factions and armies operating within Altara. While not a primary setting for extensive events, Falden serves as a backdrop and a temporary sanctuary or point of conflict for the protagonists as they journey through the continent. The description of Falden contributes to the rich world-building of the Wheel of Time, grounding the epic narrative in specific, tangible locations with their own unique characteristics and local color.
