Tilverton

Tilverton was located in the Stonelands at the strategic mouth of Tilver's Gap, between the Thunder Peaks and the Desertsmouth Mountains, in Cormyr. Roads lead from it to Arabel, Shadowdale and Hillsfar. Though Tilverton is now destroyed and desolate, the city's walls rise high above the flat plain on which it once stood.

Surrounding Land
A number of homes, most of them belonging to hardy herders and horse ranchers who refuse to be scared away, can be found around the former city's site.

Animal pelt traders from the Thunder Peaks and the Storm Horns did a very brisk business in Tilverton as of 1368 DR.

Streets

 * The Street of the Sorceress is a wide street that leads from just inside Tilverton's east gate on the Moonsea Ride, turning south in a wide 'S' shape. From there it goes up the Tilver Stairs hillside in to the Old Town and then loops around and down the Market Stairs, ending at the Market.


 * Phorn's Lane is a small dead-end side street that runs north off the Street of the Sorceress, just past the Tilver Stairs on the hill top in the Old Town.

History
By 1357 DR, Tilverton had come under complete Cormyrean occupation.

Destruction of Tilverton
On Mirtul 27 1372 DR, Tilverton was destroyed when it was attacked by the forces of Thultanthar. All that was left of the town was a dark, concave space filled with shadows and flitting regions of deeper darkness.

By 1479 DR, this area had become known as the Tilverton Scar.
