Mere of Dead Men
Castle Naerytar
Haskenport
A small seaside town founded within the last century with a population just under a hundred individuals around a shallow port. The town itself is built across several levels climbing up from the water level to the dry top of a small hill. It would be a rather unremarkable fishing village if not for the discovery of a unique local mushroom foraged from the Mare of Dead Men.
Locations
- Chapel of St. Cuthbert: Founded by the Acolyte-Paladin Lord Reynard Hasken, this chapel is dedicated to an obscure Saint-Deity. It serves as the main religious center for the town and, in the case of an emergency, the final bastion.
- The Lodging House: The sole Inn for the town, this building serves as the central social hub. For want of other civil building, the Inn also serves as the community center and unofficial house of governance. Most town NPCs can be found in here at at some time in the day.
- Haken's Manor: Located about an hour out of town, this is Lord Reynard Hasken's original residence, and has been abandoned since his death. The town holds out some hope that another adventurer might retire there some day.
Sword Mountains
Leilon
Leilon is a small mining town that served as a convenient resting place for weary travelers on the High Road along the Sword Coast between Neverwinter and Waterdeep. According to Volo, northerners generally pronounced it LIE-lon while non-locals who learned the name from a map typically chose any one of the other possible pronunciations. The town contains many stone cottages with slate or thatched roofs, the latter covered with hardened mud. Leilon's eastern mines contain copper, nickel, and silver that was sold to Waterdeep merchants. Once a month (except during winter) a band of gnomes came to Leilon to engage in trade. They were from the gnome village of Ieirithymbul in the western Sword Mountains. The Leilon military, known as the Lances of Leilon, consists of a force of 200 mounted soldiers. Each was fully armed with sword, axe, knife, lance, and a light crossbow that could be fired from horseback with great skill. They wear chain mail with shields strapped to their chests and backs. These warriors are always on patrol, vigilant against raids by orcs, trolls, bugbears, bandits, and pirates, moving up and down the great road.
High Tower of Thalivar
An abandoned wizard tower near the edge of town.
The Knight's Goblet
Referred to as the Goblet, this tavern catered to travelers and was described by Volo as "clean, boring, and overpriced". Provides both lodgings (10sp) and meals (6sp), both are clean, complete, comfortable, and generally available.
The Sword of Leilon
Expanded innumerable times over the eons, this inn was a virtual labyrinth of small rooms where guests often got lost and wandered by accident into other people's rooms. The rooms are small, oddly shaped, but inexpensive (2sp). They do not have a tavern but do offer small rations through their attached store.
The Orc's Tusks
A large tavern-feast hall, the Orc's Tusks is the preferred venue for the locals. The portions are generous and the ale plentiful, leading to a roudy and rancorous crew on a nightly basis. The hall is run by a very well-muscled half-orc barkeep who claims to have provided most of the antlers, skulls and tusks that decorate the room. (3sp)
Neverwinter Wood
Sword Mountains
Gross Fell
A small village nestled into the hills above Leilon which acts as a gather point for the local hill farm and shepherd hamlets and a feeder for the town of Leilon.
