Pros

Pros was a ruined settlement that was once a small port town found in the Dragon Coast region of central Faerûn.

Description
Even before it fell into ruin, Pros was not the most beauteous locale. Its buildings were in great disrepair, and its "port" had only a few rickety docks that could not support larger vessels.

Geography
The town was located on the shores of the Castaway Coast on the southern side of the Dragonmere. It marked the termination of the Turnstone Road that linked it with the large city of Elversult.

Government
During its time, Pros was governed by a local mayor and a town council.

Trade
Both Pros and the larger town of Ilipur were known as the "eyes and ears" of Elversult. } Both towns functioned as a unloading point for goods that were moved overland to the crossroads city. Local dockworkers would load shipments aboard flat barges and punts, and direct them out to waiting ships. It was considered the perfect location from which to smuggle illicit goods or items that were preferably not known about by others.

History
The Cult of the Dragon established themselves in Elversult and Pros during the early 13 century DR, in the. They aligned themselves with the black dragon Hethcypressarvil, that later became a dracolich.

In the, the fishers of Pros bringing in large catches of shark, that were then sold to members of the Dragon Cult for great sums of money. The cult was using the fish to aid the dracolich in the reconstruction of its destroyed body.

When the Spellplague struck Faerûn in the, the waters of the Sea of Fallen Stars receded, and many coastal settlements were left destitute and outright abandoned. Pros was one of those towns; by the 15 century it was hardly worth mentioning except as a memory of the past.

Notable Locations
The town had a number of small, unremarkable inns, none of which were particularly noteworthy.
