Turnstone Pass

Turnstone Pass was a valley in the Nether Mountains.

Description
The region had a bad reputation. According to some rumors, the area was infested by daemonfey, Fey'ri and half-fiends of House Dlardrageth.

History
Around 872 DR, the road from Sundabar to Ascalhorn wound its way through the pass.

In 1343 DR, the Moonlight Men mercenary company sacrificed their lives at Turnstone Pass fending off an approaching horde of orcs, slaying over 4,000 in total.

In weeks following the destruction of Hellgate Keep in 1369 DR, a massive avalanche occurred that blocked off Turnstone Pass and access to the Upvale. Most blamed this incident on the treant forces of Turlang and some galeb duhr, while some believed that it may have been the work of Alustriel Silverhand.

By 1372 DR, the valley was mostly wilderness.
