Neverwinter's Cataclysm

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

A chasm opens in Neverwinter, releasing horrific abominations that attack the city

Minor earth tremors that had plagued the region for months were the precursors of the eruption of Mount Hotenow. A portion of that volcano's peak exploded with such force that lava and super-heated ash poured across the city in an avalanche. Half of Neverwinter's population died in a heartbeat, many of the city's buildings razed. A great rift now known as the Chasm rent the surface where the shifting earth had pulled apart. A plethora of strange undead roamed the city in the aftermath, their dead flesh turned to ash by the fires that consumed the city.
