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, via the Moonsea Ride and Shadowdale, via the North Ride.
Surrounding Land
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]
By 1367 DR the Rogues of Tilverton had driven the agents of both the Zhentarim and the Dragon Cult out of Tilverton to establish themselves as outlaw force to be reconded with. Even a brief foray by the Fire Knives was repelled.[8]
Destruction of Tilverton
On Mirtul 27 1372 DR, Tilverton was destroyed [9] 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.[10] Though Tilverton is now destroyed and desolate, the city's walls rise high above the flat plain on which it once stood.[1]
By 1479 DR, this area had become known as the Tilverton Scar.[11]
