'''Nethentir''' was a city of [[Thay]] located within the tharch of [[Lapendrar]], just beneath the [[First Escarpment]] on the northern shore of [[Lake Umber]].<ref name="UE-p149">{{Cite book/Unapproachable East|149}}</ref> It was an important settlement that took in heavy caravan traffic and housed a large fortress and a number of legion outposts that guarded a series of switchback trails that led up to the [[Thayan Plateau]].<ref name="S:CG-p42">{{Cite book/Spellbound/Campaign Guide|42}}</ref>

Nethentir was the sister-town of [[Nethjet]], though it never attained the same level of prosperity. Together they served as the starting point for a number of Thayan invasions into the lands of [[Thesk]] and [[Aglarond]].<ref name="UE-p169">{{Cite book/Unapproachable East|169}}</ref>

==Description==
In addition, Nethentir had a great many businesses and inns that served the outlanders who entered Thay from the west.<ref name="S:CG-p42"/> Bored and unruly [[gnoll]]s and Thayan legionnaires regularly wreaked havoc in the city's establishments, starting brawls and harassing passersby. When soldiers arrived in Nethentir on leave, citizens were prepared to bar the doors of their homes or make arrangements to leave town for a short while.<ref name="S:CG-p43">{{Cite book/Spellbound/Campaign Guide|43}}</ref>

Nethentir had a port that opened up into Lake Umber, and many sea captains of the city shipped their goods to Nethjet and back. While no major Thayan roads extended into the city, many merchants established their own overland trade routes,<ref name="UE-p169"/> and typically evaded the attention of the [[Red Wizards]].<ref name="UE-p170">{{Cite book/Unapproachable East|170}}</ref>

==History==
Nethentir fell into ruin during the events of the [[Spellplague]] in the {{YearlinkName|1385}}, when the upheaval of the [[Thayan Plateau]] and eruption of the [[Thaymount]] caused the entire region to become broken and transformed into the [[Bonedark Hills]].<ref name="FRCG-p183">{{Cite book/Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide|183}}</ref>

In the late 15{{th}} century [[DR]], Thayan forces began rebuilding and reinforcing Nethentir into a ringed fortress known as a [[Dread Ring]],<ref name="FRCG-p180">{{Cite book/Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide|180}}</ref><ref name="FRCG-p182">{{Cite book/Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide|182}}</ref> and patrols of Thayan troops (including [[undead]] increased around the city.<ref name="FRCG-p183" />
