Redspring

Iron in the soil around Redspring colors the springs that rise here a rust-red and makes the water taste like old blood. The water does nourish, however, and it never fails, even in the iciest winter weather, so Redspring is one of the most reliable sources of water around. The Sunset Stream flows from it to feed the Starwater near its source.
Redspring has always been a shepherds’ moot. Though it was abandoned for long periods when the Stonelands made these northern moors too danger- ous to enter, Redspring is a booming center of expansion today. Like Dawngleam far to the south, it’s been chosen by the Crown for new construction. A Purple Dragon garrison has been installed in its own tiny keep. It is guarding work crews who’re throwing up earthen ramparts as fast as they can in a wide ring that will enclose, it is hoped, a respectable town in the future.
Many merchants are taking advantage of the Crown boon (moneys provided by the royal treasury for the building of shops and establishing businesses) and are rushing up to Redspring. Most of them have brought their own hired bodyguards, obviously not trusting the Purple Dragons to defend them against raids from the Stonelands.
This trickle of traders turned into a steady stream when the Crown installed four war wizards in a newly built mansion in the center of Redspring, and the locals have watched in disbelief as each day brings new faces.
Redspring is a place of golden opportunity, but I can’t recommend it as a destination for travelers yet. There’s no inn, the tavern is no more than a serv- ing window where patrons must stand out in the weather to place their orders, and there’s nary a building stone to be had for miles. Workers are digging deep pits just outside the earthen walls to get more construction stone. Redspring has a muddy morass rather than roads, and many unfinished buildings are sited here, there, and everywhere, so the chaos of transport may well continue when all building is complete. Moreover, a very hard winter or renewed Zhentarim strength may yet sweep Redspring away into rubble.
(Folk have reported seeing mages flying over the growing town, observing the activities below while mounted on the fearsome beasts known as feywings.) Still, if you follow the way of Tymora or merely like to gamble, this is a place where fortunes may soon be made.
In 1493 DR it is small town.
