• The Street of the Sorceress is a wide street that leads from just inside Tilverton's east gate on the Moonsea Ride south in a wide 'S' shape and then up the Tilver Stairs hillside in to the Old Town and then loops around and down the Market Stairs and ends at the Market.^[3][4][5]
• Phorn's Lane is a small dead end side street that runs north off the Street of the Sorceress, just past the Tilver Stairs on the hill top in the Old Town.^[3][4][5]

[edit] History

On Mirtul 27 1372 DR, Tilverton was destroyed.^[6] 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.^[7]

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.^[8]
