Tandem is a city located north of the Meander River. Seen as the cornerstone of the Free Cities of the North, Tandem, with aid from Madrigal, look out to protect the towns of Crow's Bridge, Otter Ferry, White Falls, and Willow. Tandem defended the free cities for most of the war, but the crushing weight of the Dark armies from the east caused its downfall only weeks before the war finally ended.
During the Second War, the rebuilt city was once again attacked and it fell at the hands of the returning Myrkridia.
