Neverwinter

Overview
The city of Neverwinter, known also as the Jewel of the North and the City of Skilled Hands, lies mostly in ruin after the explosion of Mt Hotenow some twenty-five years ago. Though in that time survivors have rebuilt and refugees have returned, the city is far from the state that earned it those sobriquets in years past. It would seem that a new chapter of the city has opened since Lord Dagult Neverember of Waterdeep has proclaimed himself Lord Protector of the City and has assisted in its reconstruction.

Docks
The principal, legal port in the region, Neverwinter's position as nexus between the savage North and the more civilized cities of the Sword Coast has been the life blood of the city since it's founding. The warming effect of the Neverwinter River keeps the port free of ice in the hard winter and has made Neverwinter into a logical spot for seafaring traders. Rumor has it that this aspect of Neverwinterian life has mostly returned to normality since Nevermember's arrival to the city.

Temple of Oghma
This place of worship was the largest temple in Neverwinter and a noted architectural feature of the city of Neverwinter. Like many of Oghma's temples, it was known to house a massive library where Oghma's faithful gathered the fruits of their research undertaken in their god's name. There are conflicting reports concerning the state of the temple today. Some say it was utterly destroyed in the cataclysmic Mount Hotenow eruption. Others contend that it was only partially destroyed while others insist that a few members of the faithful remain, steadfast in their service to their god and dedicated to preserving what remains of their knowledge in these uncertain times.

Neverwinter River
The Neverwinter river descends from Mt Hotenow, courses through the forest who owes its perpetually temperate climate to this flowing body of water and other warm tributaries found in the region. It flows westward terminating at the sea where today is found the City of Neverwinter.
