Windrider Glade

The Windrider Glade was a public park of Myth Drannor positioned on the raised platform in the center of the city with winding elevated walkways that connected it to neighboring areas. The park housed a number of shrines that were centered around an open-air Temple of Shaundakul.

Geography
Windrider Glade was built at the even distance between the Castle Cormanthor, the House of Gems, and the Speculum. The park was dedicated to the ideals of peace and diversity of religion, which was evident from the variety of shrines and temples surrounding it.

The Weeping War reigned destruction in the park due to its location. The ruins of the Windrider Glade were littered with toppled spires, destroyed buildings, and collapsed walkways.

A winding walkway to the Speculum Grounds could be accessed from the Glade's south-east and a path to Glim-Gardens further east. A drawbridge located in the north-western part of the Glade led to Stillwater Ruins. An entrance to the Dwarven Dungeons' Halls of Light could be found among the ruins to the west from Shaundakul's temple, right under one of the spinning spires connected to the Orrery in Speculum Grounds.

Two more walkways ending in a drawbridge in the eastern part of the park led to Castle Cormanthor, with one of them being destroyed by 1369 DR.

History
Following the Weeping War, only one structure in the Glade remained relatively undamaged by the chaos and time, the Temple of Shaundakul. A long line of guardian nagas was partially responsible for the temple's structure's longevity.

In 1369 DR the temple still stood in the Windrider Glade but the corrupting influence of the resurgent pool of radiance spread through the area, making it more dangerous than ever. The group of adventurers from Phlan aided the guardian nagas in cleansing the shrines from the pool's influence.

Inhabitants
In 1369 DR, Obelinde led her fellow guardian nagas that protected the Windrider Glade and the Temple of Shaundakul.

Orcs and orogs that scavenged the ruins were present at the Windrider Glade preventing the Cult of the Dragon's expansion into the area.

Some of Durren Strongshatter's peaceful gargoyles could be found hunting for gems in the Windrider Glade, along with their more aggressive gargoyle and margoyle kin led by Tusk-Lord.
