Neverwinter/River District

The River District was one of the districts of Neverwinter.

Geography
The River District was the northeast district of Neverwinter, and was named after the Neverwinter River. The houses built in this district were described as sturdy, and although they were not ostentatious compared with those in the Blacklake District, most were large enough to have held a family of six or eight plus servants. The River District also had many towers of different forms and styles, earning its moniker of the "Tower District".

History
The eruption of Mount Hotenow in the, destroyed most of the River District. Some time over the next decade, numerous tribes of the Many-Arrows kingdom took over the ruined Cloak Tower, and began take over territory in the rest of the district.

Rebuilding efforts began in earnest in the, a difficult task due to the dominant presence of orc soldiers. Although the Many-arrows warriors remained in the region until at least the, the River District was liberated under Neverwintan control some time before the.

Inhabitants
Before the destruction of the city in mid–15 century DR, the River District was inhabited by the bulk of the merchant class of Neverwinter, alongside a few nobles and wizards.

After the eruption of Mount Hotenow, the River District was inhabited mostly by the poor and by xenophobic people. A group of orcs from Many-Arrows seized a big portion of this district, making almost impossible for Dagult Neverember's forces to reclaim the River District while the orcs lived there.
