Blacklake District

The Blacklake District was one of the districts of Neverwinter. It was named by the eponymous Blacklake of Neverwinter.

Geography
The Blacklake District remained largely intact in the wake of the various disasters that laid Neverwinter low, thanks to the nobles who lived there before those disasters, as they had built buildings and other structures with good quality materials and architectural techniques, as well as they had protected them with magic. However, most buildings were later turned into makeshift barracks to defend the survivors against the dangers that plagued Neverwinter after the destruction of the city, making the district to look different from what it used to be.

Inhabitants
Before the destruction of the city in 1451 DR, the Blacklake District was inhabited by nobles. After the eruption of Mount Hotenow, a the few survivors that remained in the city mostly relocated to the Blacklake District.

Those survivors were highly nationalist and proud of the Alagondar lineage, and violently resisted Dagult Neverember's rule. The most violent members of the Sons of Alagondar claimed the area for themselves, daring Neverember's soldiers and mercenaries to try to take it from them by force.

Likewise, the Ashmadai under Mordai Vell had gained a foothold in the Blacklake District, with members infiltrated in the ranks of both the nationalist refugees and Neverember's troops stationed in the district.

History
The Blacklake District was originally the northwestern district of Neverwinter. When Mount Hotenow erupted in 1451 DR, bringing about the destruction of most of Neverwinter, the northwestern district was left mostly untouched by the pyroclastic flow, although the Blacklake turned into pit of debris and garbage and ash from the eruption.

As of 1479 DR, Neverember's efforts to rebuilt the Blacklake District were fruitless because the intervention of the Sons of Alagondar and their allies.
