Dragonrock
Dragon Rock is an asteroid port which lies close to the edge of the Tears of Selûne. Dragon Rock is an asteroid roughly 20 miles (32 kilometers) long and is owned by a group of 12 Boyars, descended from the original trading families that settled there. The upper surface of the asteroid is dedicated to trade, with hundreds of docks for spelljamming vessels of all sizes. The owners of Dragon Rock charge 1 silver piece per ton of cargo to trade in the port. Dragon Rock is the most active port of call in the Tears of Selûne.

History
In or about the 10th century DR, traders from Toril took control of a spelljammer vessel that crash landed in the Silver Marches. Sailing it out into Wildspace, they encountered the Rock of Bral and learned more about spelljamming and the Tears of Selune. They discovered Dragonrock shortly afterwards and founded the town there. The families that settled Dragonrock were Belozersky, Repnin, Gorchakov, Galitzine, Troubetzkoy, Stolypin, Drubetzkoy, Gankin, Myshkin, Barashkov, Rogózhin, and Radómsky.
