Thundertree

Ruin in Neverwinter Wood, Sword Coast North

Thundertree is a ruined village on the edge of the Neverwinter Wood, abandoned after the eruption of Mount Hotenow and overrun by monsters.

Roofless cottages are choked with vines and grey ash, twig-like creatures rustle in the undergrowth, and a dragon's shadow sometimes passes over the old tower.

Overview

Thundertree was once a forest village known for some of the best timber in the region, floated down the river to Neverwinter. When Mount Hotenow erupted, ash and fire swept over it and the villagers fled. Since then the ruins have been taken over by ash zombies, twig blights and other creatures.

In Lost Mine of Phandelver, a young green dragon has made its lair in the village's old tower, and a druid who knows the area lives among the ruins.

At the table

  • A druid in the ruins offers information, but only if the party clears the blights from the village first.
