Dreamer's Rock

Dreamer's Rock was a hamlet in southeastern Cormyr on the Way of the Manticore, located between Wheloon to the west and Monksblade to the east.

Geography
Dreamer's Rock was also the name of a long, flat hill that sheltered the hamlet from storms that came off the Lake of Dragons to the south. The hill ended in a southward-facing cliff.

History
The hamlet and hill got their name from a long-ago elf mystic named Ilyndrathyl the Dreamer. He often levitated above the hill during a sea storm, facing its fury while apparently oblivious to it. While he did this, he sent his awareness throughout Faerûn and to more distant planes. One day during one of his meditations he simply vanished in a burst of flame. It was believed that some entity had realized the elf was observing it, and it destroyed him.

Inhabitants
The people of Dreamer's Rock primarily herded sheep and grew vegetables. They surrounded their vegetable plots with ditches and stakes to discourage animals from grazing them.

They also did some copper mining by digging shallow caves into the hill, though most villagers lacked the ability to work the copper well enough to be able to sell it to passing merchants. Occasionally, these caves were used by animals and other beasts that the villagers then killed for food or to be rid of dangerous predators. The caves were also used by outlaws and smugglers, and travelers seeking shelter from bad weather. Smugglers often paid the locals for the private use of a cave, but those who were particularly ruthless sometimes killed those locals to silence them or prevent betrayal.
