Wheloon is a settlement in southeastern Cormyr. It acts as a port for merchant ships out of Sembia and operates ferries over the Wyvernflow River. Until the Goblin War Wheloon was only lightly populated but refugees from Arabel changed that, causing a small population explosion. Most of the city's inhabitants are hardworking craftsfolk who, though not rich, earn enough money and have enough time on their hands to enjoy their lives. They build their own houses and operate small businesses out of them. These houses are roofed with bright green slate from the nations largest quarry situated not far to the north of the city.^[1]

[edit] History

In 900 DR, King Galaghard III's troops fought the Battle with the Witch Lords here.^[2].From then on Wheloon stayed out of the nations history books until 1374 DR. In that year a temple to Mystra was completed but was soon discovered to be a front for Sharran cultists to kidnap magically gifted citizens in an effort to create a rift in the Weave. Adventurers foiled said plot on Eleint 13, and helped open up trade agreements between Cormyr and the Sharptooth tribe of lizardfolk in the Vast Swamp.^[3][4]

By 1479 DR, Wheloon had been transformed into a Prison City, all those inside sealed in by brick and magic.^[5]
