Noanar's Hold was a village, just off the Evermoor Way just on the edge of the High Forest, that grew up around one of the most famous hunting lodges in the North. Cottages and well-kept stables rambled between the trees.[1] One way to reach the village was taking Jundar's Pass south from Calling Horns to Dead Horse Ford, then taking the path east along the banks of the River Dessarin.[2][3]
Government[]
The Hunt Lords ruled the settlement and arranged hunting parties for rich sportsmen of the Sword Coast.[1]
Eventually, less and less people came, as rumors got out that the Hunt Lords encouraged their guests to kill one another. In their old age, the Hunt lords struck a deal with Orcus, who transformed them into wights, and their long-dead steeds into warhorse skeletons.[4]
History[]
Noanar's Hold was named after a famous hunter who once lived in the village keep.[5]
Rumors and Legends[]
The village's hunts could involve anything from pursuing normal creatures to sentient beasts and humanoids that were less than willing participants.[1]
Notable Inhabitants[]
- The Hunt Lords, five mysterious beings who use magic to conceal their identities[1]
- Ghille Cever (White Hart Inn's Owner)[1]
- Markab Woodfoot (Head Huntsman of the Keep)[1]
- Amrath Mulnobar (Castellan of the Keep and chief lawkeeper of the town)[1]
Notable Locations[]
- The Boar with Black Tusks, the town's most noteworthy inn in the 14th century DR.[5]
- Hunter's Horn, an inn.[6]
- Stag Under the Moon, an inn.[6]
- Old Fox's Delight, an inn.[6]
- The White Hart Inn was the best inn in town in the 15th century DR.[1] Unlike the village's other inns, which were owned by the Hunt Lords,[6] it was run by Ghille Cever,[1] and later Avgar Filroy.[4]
Trivia[]
Noanar was also the name of a Netherese arcanist famous for his fire magic.[7]
