Dawngleam
Situated on the northern short of the Neck just east of the mouth of the Darkflow River, Dawngleam is a small, but prosperous fishing town. The village's docks are anchored on a series of tiny near-shore islands, the ruins of an ancient elven citadel, con¬nected to one another by bridges.
Early in Cormyr's history, the flagship of the Cormy- rean Crown Prince Azoun I was scuttled in the Neck and the crew managed to escape to the stretch of coast where the town was later founded. Grate-ful that all hands survived, the prince proclaimed it was "the best gleaming dawn seen in Cormyr." The phrase "dawngleam" came to mean sunrise throughout Cormyr in the subsequent years, due largely to a song commemorating the event by the minstrel Darbrukk Syndylver, and the village was named in honor of this occasion when it was found¬ed nearly a thousand years later. Perhaps appropri¬ately, Dawngleam is also the most easterly Cormyre- an settlement on the Dragonmere, meaning it is the first to see dawn each morning.
The village remained relatively small until the mid 14th-century, when the Cormyrean navy expand¬ed the docks and built a series of dockside ballista towers to enable the town to serve as a port for ships engaged against pirates in the Neck. The military presence brought stability which, in turn, attracted merchants to the town and resulted in a period of rapid expansion. One of the newly arrived merchants from Chessenta brought with them a process of preserving fish in seasoned oils (rather than salt) and storing them in clay shells, allowing Dawngleam's fish to be shipped and sold through¬out Faerûn. They also established a joint venture known as the Moontower, has been claimed by the War Wizards for use as a waystop shelter and is home to a handful of War Wizards and a few Purple Dragons who assist in the maintain¬ing of the tower as well as serving as guards.
with the local merfolk to set up a protected shallow cove that served as a clam bed. Dawngleam has re-mained a popular alternative to Cormyr's traditional ports in Marsember and Suzail for those seeking to avoid crowds, delays, and high fees.
The coast east of Dawngleam are inhabited by large packs of wild dogs, though these packs are op-portunistic and more likely to steal loose food from travelers than they are to attack them.
Later, in 1480 Queen Raedra created a Naval base for part of Cormyrean Blue Dragons.
