Torm's Hand

Torm's Hand was a small village found on the Sword Coast during the late 15 century DR.

Description
The village comprised a smattering dirt roads set over uneven earth, winding between a smattering of stone-and-wood structures.

Geography
It was located just beyond the walls of Baldur's Gate.

Defenses
Due to its close proximity to the sprawling metropolis, Torm's Hand fell under the protection of the Baldurian army known as the Flaming Fist.

History
Some time during or around the, the villages of Torm's Hand hosted a festival to celebrate the life of Klysandral, the local paladin that sacrificed his life to thwart of the efforts of cultists acting in service of Asmodeus. Folks came from far and wide to celebrate Kylsandral's life, including members of the Hellriders and the Flaming Fist. Notable among the celebrants was Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard, a longtime friend of Kylsandral.

As the procession made its way though Torm's Hand and up towards the local Tormish church, a hellcyst opened up beneath the village. The local holy house known as 'the Fortress' was pulled down to Avernus in the Nine Hells. The planewalker Emirikol attempted to saved everyone caught in the chaos, using his skyship called the Demonwing, but the final fate of the village and its people was unknown.
