Thundertree
Thundertree was a small village in the plains east of Neverwinter on the edge of the Neverwinter Wood, standing around 1365 DR. It was destroyed by 1451 DR.
By 1451 DR, Thundertree lay in overgrown ruins, with many of its stone houses lacking roofs and lying open to the elements, though some remained mostly intact. It was disturbingly quiet.
Industry & Trade
This small village supported itself by harvesting windfall timber and shipping it downriver to Neverwinter and beyond. It was considered to be the source of some of the best timber from Neverwinter Wood.
History
Thundertree was once a community that prospered on the edges of the Neverwinter Woods.
When traveling across the North in the mid-14th century DR, Volothamp Geddarm did not get a chance to properly visit the village and so only briefly discussed it in his guidebook, Volo's Guide to the North.
However, when Mount Hotenow erupted in the Year of Knowledge Unearthed, 1451 DR, it devastated the small town. In the wake of the disaster, ash zombies drove off any who survived the eruption.
In 1479 DR, the Ashmadai leader Favria set up camp in the ruins of Thundertree, living within a ruined inn's underground wine cellar. From there she tracked activity in both Neverwinter and everywhere the Thayans employed their cult.
By 1488 DR, the zombies had crumbled to dust, but strange magic had turned the local flora into twig blights.
