Neverwinter
As of 1491 DR, Neverwinter, known as the Jewel of the North, is a city of resilience and rebirth. Following the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Hotenow in 1451 DR, it has been in a state of recovery, driven by the strong leadership of Lord Dagult Neverember, who is also the Open Lord of Waterdeep. Despite the devastation, Neverwinter has managed to reclaim much of its former glory, showcasing renewed architecture and bustling marketplaces, underpinned by a vibrant economic resurgence. The city's key features include the protective walls that have been rebuilt stronger than before, the bustling Protector's Enclave at its heart, and the regal, ever-warm waters of the Neverwinter River that continue to support commerce and travel.
Culturally and socially, Neverwinter is a melting pot, with a diverse population that includes humans, dwarves, elves, and other races, all contributing to the city's dynamic community. The city's defenses are robust, featuring a capable guard force and reinforced structures to withstand any threats. Culturally, the city thrives with art, music, and festivals, which resonate within locales such as the restored Tymora's Luck Casino and the newly erected House of a Thousand Faces, a theater where tales of heroism and adventure come to life.
Neverwinter served as the original meeting place of all members of the Owl Friends adventuring party, brought together by mutual acquaintance Gundren Rockseeker to embark on a mission which required trusted friends. Accompanying him was Sildar Hallwinter, serving as one of the members of the Lords' Alliance stationed in the city.
Some key landmarks include:
Neverwinter Castle:
Once the royal seat and a symbol of authority in the city, heavily damaged by natural disasters but still an iconic structure.
The Hall of Justice:
Serving as both a temple to Tyr, the god of justice, and a base of operations for the city’s guards and judicial system.
The Neverwinter River:
Flowing directly through the city, its warmth, provided by volcanic activity, prevents it from freezing and is a central feature of the city’s geography.
The House of Knowledge:
A library and temple dedicated to Oghma, the god of knowledge. It serves as a repository for vast amounts of lore and history.
Protector’s Enclave:
The administrative heart of Neverwinter where Lord Neverember’s rule is centered, and where many of the city’s political, social, and economic activities converge.
