The Court Close was hook-shaped street in Suzail that connected the Promenade with one of the city's handouts, ending almost reaching the Bolliver's Wharf.[1]

Description[]

The street began on the doors of the Winking Eye that stood on the northern side of the Promenade, one block southeast of Castle Obarskyr. The Court Close then moved north, hooked around the block, crossed the Promenade, and darted south, slightly veering to the west.[note 1] The Court Close ended almost reaching public wharves of Suzail – the Bolliver's Wharf, coming to a halt at the crossing of Silverscales Street[2] and the Dancing Druid Lane.[3]

Notable Locations[]

  • Darcleir's Haven, a fanciful and expensive eatery, across the Promenade from the Hall of Honor.[4]
  • Hall of Honor, the southwestern edge of Castle Obarskyr that held a museum dedicated to the history of Cormyr.[5]
  • The Myrmidon, also known as the Thelmar's Inn, stood on Promenade's southside, across the Court Close from Darcleir's Haven.[6]
  • Ring of Coins, a pawn shop that stood one block north of Dragonmere.[6]
  • Selavar's Inn, the inn on the eastern side of the Court Close, the second block south from the Promenade.[7]
  • The Winking Eye, a well-known tavern that stood on the Promenade.[1]
  • Zhaelun's Stockyard, a stockyard that stood on the southern edge of Selavar's Inn's block.[7]

Notes[]

  1. The description of the street was given in Volo's Guide to Cormyr using an earlier map of Suzail. On it, the Court Close looped around the block of the royal stables, that later were moved and the block was built over. For the purposes of the map of Suzail and this article, we are assuming that the street's name and general hook-shape remained the same post-change.
