Thundertree

Thundertree was a small town located in Northwest Faerun, between Neverwinter, the Neverwinter woods, and the vulcano Mount Hotenow. It was also located near the river Mirar. The town was destroyed by a violent eruption of Mount Hotenow in 1740 DR.

History
Thundertree was founded as a lumber and agricultural town in the 15th century DR, although the region harbored human settlements long before then. The town was under protection of Neverwinter.

Until 1740 DR, the town prospered from its lumber and agricultural industries. Most of this produce was traded to Neverwinter.

In 1740 DR, the town was abandoned during the eruption of Mount Hotenow, that caused the region to become uninhabitable for a while. After its abandonement, the young dragon Venomfang settled in the now-ruins of the town.

In 1770 DR, the town had been overtaken completely by plantgrowth, blights, and zombies. Venomfang's presence also attracted several dragon worshippers. Interim Lord Vellios of Neverwinter had enough of the abandoned town in his backyard, and initiated a re-colonization campaign, starting with the removal of hostile elements. For this, the Groep van Droep was hired to slay Venomfang. The adventurers succeeded in this task, and by fall of 1770 DR, settlers were encouraged to rebuild Thundertree.
