The developers of Neverwinter have just announced that they will be "vaulting" seven of the game's adventure zones as part of a planned restructuring of their leveling experience. They claim that the zones will make their way back to the game, but in a heavily revised form and at an unclear schedule. Needless to say, I am skeptical of this, and I am worried we might lose out on lore in the process. When MMO content is gone, it really is gone, after all. It behooves us to document all that we can from these soon-to-be-vaulted adventure zones now. With this in mind, Ruf and I have decided to form a task force dedicated to preserving this lore before it is potentially lost forever. We previously (and successfully) did this exact thing prior to the permanent removal of the Fury of the Feywild expansion.
Can I help?

Anyone is more than welcome to contribute. You can either download the game and get started that way, or watch through recorded gameplay on YouTube. Most of the zones being vaulted are from the earlier parts of the game, so the time investment to reach them is not prohibitively large. You can download Neverwinter on Steam or directly from the publisher.

What needs to be done?

All of these adventure zones are filled with NPCs, creatures, and quests. Simply add whatever information you find to the wiki. The more we can cover, the better. I will also be playing through the zones and taking screenshots of all the quest text and NPCs I come across, so that we have something to refer to outside of the game (and for posterity). Keep in mind all of these zones are set in 1479 DR (except the bits with dragons... it's kind of a mess).

What zones are being vaulted?

Out of these, the developers have mentioned Blackdagger Ruins and Helm's Hold as being "high on the list for returning", albeit with modifications.

Old and new Neverwinter Wiki links

The Neverwinter Wiki (at Fandom) and Official Neverwinter Wiki (at Gamepedia) have merged into Neverwinter Wiki (at Fandom with Gamepedia style). Hence all of our {{NWWiki}} and {{ONWWiki}} external links point to the same site and often the same page. The old ONW links will need to removed and links checked and updated, as many required custom entries because of differing pagenames. It's also not really bot-able without skill with regular expressions. So, if you see some while on this project, do check and update these.

Demo Record

Some basic commands and tips for recording demos are given here. It's useful for getting screenshots of creatures who might otherwise be moving too much attacking you, and for flying around to get a good view of an area.

Quick update: mod 21 has a release date of July 27th. While we don't need to complete all the articles by that time, we should at least identify any others that need to be added and compile all visual resources such as screenshots by then.

Being a newbie, I've worked my way through Blacklake District and am now in Tower District. I've been taking updated screenshots and what details I can. It looks like most are covered on wiki already, but I can always update and expand. It looks like some quests I've seen on the Neverwinter Wiki are no longer available, at least to me, but fortunately NWW has a lot of the speech and lore copied out for reference.

Putting this here as a reminder - I have been unable to find any screenshots online of the "flamebow" and "flameshield" variants of fire archon, so I don't know if their models are any different, but I've read that they can be found in Mount Hotenow. So if anyone finds that they do look different, I would appreciate a screenshot of them for the fire archon article.

I've completed Tower District, including a party run through The Cloak Tower, and got screenshots of everything I could. Between what I have saved and information on the Neverwinter Wiki, it should be more-or-less preserved, though there may be some class/race-specific quest characters and bosses that are hard to access without another play-through. Adding it all to articles will take much longer, of course.
