Tilverton is located on the Moonsea Ride in the Stonelands at the strategic mouth of Tilver's Gap, between the Thunder Peaks and the Desertsmouth Mountains[1], in Cormyr. Tilverton stands at the T where the North Ride meets Moonsea Ride,[2] these roads lead from it to Arabel, Shadowdale. Though Tilverton is now destroyed and desolate, the city's walls rise high above the flat plain on which it once stood.[1]
Surrounding Land
A number of homes, most of them belonging to hardy herders and horse ranchers who refuse to be scared away, can be found around the former city's site.[1]
Animal pelt traders from the Thunder Peaks and the Storm Horns did a very brisk business in Tilverton as of 1368 DR.[3]
Taverns
Streets
- The Street of the Sorceress is a wide street that leads from just inside Tilverton's east gate on the Moonsea Ride, turning south in a wide 'S' shape. From there it goes up the Tilver Stairs hillside in to the Old Town and then loops around and down the Market Stairs, ending at the Market.[4][5][6]
- Phorn's Lane is a small dead-end side street that runs north off the Street of the Sorceress, just past the Tilver Stairs on the hill top in the Old Town.[4][5][6]
History
By 1357 DR, Tilverton had come under complete Cormyrean occupation.[7]
Destruction of Tilverton
On Mirtul 27 1372 DR, Tilverton was destroyed [8] when it was attacked by the forces of Thultanthar. All that was left of the town was a dark, concave space filled with shadows and flitting regions of deeper darkness.[9]
By 1479 DR, this area had become known as the Tilverton Scar.[10]
