Hilltop

Hilltop is a tiny community nestled in-between the southern foothills of the Nether Mountains and northern edge of the High Forest. To the east is the village of Blumberg and far to the west, down the River Rauvin is Everlund.

Hilltop is a sleepy little village led by mayor Veraunt Shuttlescomb. Although falling within the boundary of Luruar, it was not one of the signatories of the League of the Silver Marches, being too small. The only point of interest was Drogan Droganson's adventuring school.

In a particularly cold Kythorn of 1372 DR, Hilltop was attacked by a large group of kobolds. Casualties were relatively light, with only a few militiamen and two civilians killed in exchange for dozens of kobold dead. Drogan though, the one who could likely do the most to repair the damage to the village was poisoned in the attack and incapacitated, leaving his eldest apprentice to try and solve everyone's problems. This apprentice would go on to do great things like destroying the Netherese flying city of Undrentide and defeating the Valsharess and Mephistopheles.

Hilltop has won second place in the "Communities in Bloom" competition, losing to Blumberg (it is unknown if there were any other entrants), which was sacked by Gnolls on the same day as the Hilltop kobold attack.
