Gorthin

Gorthin was a hamlet in southeastern Cormyr, situated north of Kirinwood and south of Monksblade.

Geography
Gorthin was an isolated backwater, seldom visited and not located on any major roads. It occupied a desolate boggy region of brambles, stunted trees, rocky ridges, and mist. The bogs around Gorthin were the source of the Evenbrook, a branch of the Mistwater River that flowed south into the Lake of Dragons.

Inhabitants
The people of Gorthin herded sheep and gathered berries from the bogs. They were defended by some local druids.

Rumors and Legends
There were rumors of gems being found in the stony ridges around Gorthin, which was connected to another legend that Gorthin was the name of an ancient dwarven king whose tomb of riches lay beneath the hamlet. This contradicted the traditional story that Gorthin's namesake founder had been a simple farmer. No one ever found the dwarf king's tomb, if it ever existed.
