Hilltop
Veraunt Shuttlescomb
Hilltop.
Hilltop was a tiny community nestled in the southern foothills of the Nether Mountains.
Hilltop was located in the Silver Marches. The trail to Hilltop branched off the trail between Everlund and Sundabar, between Lhuvenhead and Jalanthar, which were the nearest communities. To the east of Hilltop was the village of Blumberg and far to the west, down the River Rauvin was Everlund. It was described as a very inhospitable land due to its cold climate and potential hazards, such as roaming monsters around the area.
Government
The area was governed by the elected mayor, Veraunt Shuttlescomb, for a time. Although falling within the boundary of Luruar, it was not one of the signatories of the League of the Silver Marches, being too small.
History
The towns were at one point found upon by ex-soldiers from the Zhentarim armies who were distrusted by neighboring towns due to their knowledge of Zhent's history and behaviour. Similarly, adventurers were also drawn to the location potentially due to the possibility of roaming monsters and hazards that awaited them.
In a particularly cold Kythorn of 1372 DR, Hilltop was attacked by a large group of kobolds. Casualties were relatively light, with only a few militiamen and two civilians killed in exchange for dozens of kobold dead. Drogan Droganson though, the one who could likely do the most to repair the damage to the village was poisoned in the attack and incapacitated, leaving his eldest apprentice to try and solve everyone's problems. This apprentice would go on to do great things like destroying the Netherese flying city of Undrentide and defeating the Valsharess and Mephistopheles.
Hilltop won second place in the "Communities in Bloom" competition, losing to Blumberg (it is unknown if there were any other entrants), which was sacked by Gnolls on the same day as the Hilltop kobold attack.
Notable Locations
The main point of interest was Drogan Droganson's adventuring school.
InhabitantsEdit
Whilst the town was not of notable size, Drogan's school accommodated many students in its time including Xanos Messarmos, Mischa Waymeet and Dorna Trapspringer.
Merchants in the town included the tavernmaster Lodar and his chef Mara, the blacksmith Fiona and herbalist Farghan. The local priest, Gilford, also provided his services to the town.
Hol Halstrom lived in the village before his corpse was found and his death linked to a self-proclaimed prophet Piper.
Hilltop Village
The small Village of Hilltop is around three days travel up the mountain from Silverymoon. Its home to a small population of around 120 souls, most of which are human. There is a small inn named the “Northern Vista”, and a general goods store named “Good Goods”.
Hilltop’s claim to fame is actually a well sought and historically rich institution named the Drogan Droganson’s Adventuring School.
The Inn is run by a 50ish year old male named Namel. This hardened man has little to say and nothing to offer in terms of rumours or work. He can offer the party a single room with 3 beds in it for the night at an inflated 4gp price.
The Good Goods is run by an elderly woman who offers the party a warm welcome. She introduces herself as Gladys Snowfinger. She claims to have lived in Hilltop for her entire life, some 60 odd years. Her store stocks anything found on the Adventurers Gear list in the PHB pg.150, worth less then 2gp.
