Thundertree Settlement in D&D Forgotten Realms | World Anvil

Thundertree

Thundertree was a small village in the plains east of Neverwinter, Jewel of The North on the edge of the Neverwinter Wood, standing around 1365 DR. It was destroyed by 1451 DR.

By 1491 DR, Thundertree lay in overgrown ruins, with many of its stone houses lacking roofs and lying open to the elements, though some remained mostly intact. It was disturbingly quiet.

There were only 3 known inhabitants by 1491:
  • Reidoth was a gaunt, white-bearded human druid who visited the ruins of Thundertree from time to time, keeping any from wandering into the dangers that lurked within the ruins.
  • Venomfang was a young green dragon who had taken the ruins of Thundertree as his own lair as of approximately 1490 DR. The Cult of the Dragon had followed the dragon and hoped to gain its alliance.
  • Favria set up camp in the ruins of Thundertree, living within a ruined inn's underground wine cellar. From there he worked on gaining favor with the Green Dragon, Venomfang, as part of his devotion to the Cult of The Dragon.
  • History

    When traveling across the North in the mid-14th century DR, Volothamp Geddarm did not get a chance to properly visit the village and so only briefly discussed it in his guidebook, Volo's Guide to the North.

    However, when Mount Hotenow erupted in the Year of Knowledge Unearthed, 1451 DR, it devastated the small town. In the wake of the disaster, ash zombies drove off any who survived the eruption.
