Thundertree Ruins

Thundertree was a small village in the plains east of Neverwinter on the edge of the Neverwinter Wood. It was destroyed by 1451 DR.
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. During this time, 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.
By 1491 DR, no one inhabited the ruins of Thundertree, but for two exceptions:

• Reidoth the druid 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.
