Thundertree

Thundertree was a small logging village on the Sword Coast to the east of Neverwinter along the Neverwinter River that was destroyed in 1451 DR.

Destruction
Twenty-eight years ago when the volcano Mount Hotenow erupted, the area was coated in a toxic magical ash that turned the inhabitants into strange zombies. It left a residual blight on the local flora as well, resulting in an infestation of twig blights.

Resettlement
In 1479 DR, former resident and paladin Aquinas organized a small band of adventurers to clear the monsters and resettle the village. With the help of the hermit Yngvar and a werebear who had taken up residence, Ursus Powerbottom, the Adventurers killed off the inhabiting monsters and drove off a band of Werewolves, but not before Øh the Barbarian was bitten and contracted lycanthropy. The town was reestablished by the Adventurers in the Spring.
