Nightstone

Nightstone was a fortified settlement located near the Ardeep Forest, in the hills between Waterdeep and Daggerford. It was connected to the High Road via a side trail.

Geography
Nightstone was located a few miles south of the Ardeep Forest. It was built on the Ardeep River and consisted of a fenced island connected to an artificial motte that held the village's keep. Its name derived from a mysterious obsidian obelisk in the center of the village that had strange glyphs carved into it and emanated a magic aura.

History
Over the years, the villagers of Nightstone had bad relationships with the wood elves who inhabited the Ardeep Forest. Sometime after the War of the Silver Marches, the village was bombarded by a cloud giant floating castle which killed many inhabitants and forced the survivors to escape into nearby caves outside the village.
