By 1357 DR, Tilverton had come under complete Cormyean occupation.^[6]

[edit] Destruction of Tilverton

On Mirtul 27 1372 DR, Tilverton was destroyed.^[7] The town 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.^[8]

In 1479 DR, Tilverton had changed from shadows to a “spiral of darkness and blue fire”. Tilverton is the only known area of plagueland in Cormyr.^[9]
