Hultail

A small village of only a few scattered buildings along the Hullack Trail, Hultail serves as the only port on the Wyvernwater west of Immersea, and was once the largest port on the Wyvernwater be¬ing surpassed in the last century by the rapid growth of Immersea. As a result of its location, it sees most of the traffic coming down the Thunder River from High Dale to the east and is known as the “secret door” to Cormyr for being one of the least guarded entry points into the kingdom, though a small group of War Wizards is on hand to keep an eye on those who make port. The villagers of Hultail have maintained strong ties with the Dalesmen and the village allows merchants from the Dales to travel quickly to Thunderstone, Juniril, and Wheloon. Hultail is also a popular stop¬over point for adventurers traveling to and from Thunderstone.

INNS AND TAVERNS

The Plate of Eels

Named for the Cormyrean del¬icacy and its signature dish, a plate of fresh, still slithering freshwater eels, this tavern serves good, strong beer and a wide array of local fare. Though they specialize in seafood, they also serve chicken, goose, and boar to cater to travelers.

LOCATIONS OF INTEREST

Spawnhall

The town's fish hatchery is located in the imposing structure known as Spawnhall, which is guarded by no less than forty Purple Dragons armed with hand crossbows whose darts have been envenomed with sleep poison. Rumors persist that some strange arcane ritual is used to produce the fish that is used to stock the Wyvern¬water, though the exact nature of this ritual is de¬scribed differently by each drunkard who repeats it. Officially, the Purple Dragons explain their pres¬ence by simply reminding inquirers that the proper care of the Wyvernwater is vital for the health and prosperity of the surrounding countryside, an answer which appeases only the most casual of conspiracy theorists.

Trindar Shipyards

A large complex of docks, sheds, cranes, and slipways produces some of the finest and most sturdy fishing boats on the Wyvernwater. They are functional and utilitarian, though a cot¬tage industry of smaller shipyards has sprung up that specializes in customizing Trindar sloops and dhows to meet the tastes of their new owners.
