Caer Corwell
Town in Moonshae Isles
Caer Corwell is a ruined castle town and port on Gwynneth in the Moonshae Isles, once the capital of the Ffolk kingdom of Corwell and said to be the prettiest town of the islands.
A castle on a rocky cliff looks over an empty harbour, and the terraced streets that once made it the prettiest town in the Moonshaes lie in ruins.

Overview
Caer Corwell lies on the island of Gwynneth in the Moonshae Isles, far to the west of the Sword Coast. For most of its history little more than a fishing village, it grew into a small city of terraces running down from a cliff-top castle to the harbour, and was the capital of the Ffolk kingdom of Corwell through the late 14th century DR.
By the late 15th century DR, it lay abandoned and in ruins. The Moonshaes are shared uneasily between the Ffolk, who worship the Earthmother and follow the druids, and the Northlanders, who settled several of the islands by the sword.
