Wyvern Tor was a crag in the Lost Hills northeast of the Sword Mountains,[1][2] and was easily seen by any on the Triboar Trail near the vicinity of Conyberry.[2]

History[]

Wyvern Tor was formerly inhabited by a vicious nest of wyverns, but they were slain by bold adventurers. By the time of approximately 1491 DR,[note 1] the place was abandoned by the wyvern nest. Many creatures laid here from time to time, the most prominent of which was a group of orcs and one ogre.[2]

In 1491 DR, the place became the lair of orc scouts of the Many-Arrows tribe. The stories of Phandalin being resettled in this time renewed traffic on the Triboar Trail and attracted the orcs to the area.[2]

Inhabitants[]

Wyvern Tor was originally inhabited by a nest of wyverns, but after they were driven out, many creatures used the place as their lair. By 1480 DR, a group of six orcs led by the leader of the scouting party, Brughor Axe-Biter, inhabited the crag. They also allied themselves with a filthy ogre named Gog.[2]

Appendix[]

Notes[]

  1. Pages 30‒31 of Lost Mine of Phandelver describe the eruption of Mount Hotenow (1451 DR) as occurring "30 years ago", which would place the adventure in 1481 DR. When the adventure was later remade into Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk, this 30 year time frame was kept (pages 50 & 53). However, pages 103 and 179 of Acquisitions Incorporated, a source published after the former, state that the events described in the adventure happen five years after both Lost Mine of Phandelver and Princes of the Apocalypse. Since the latter is explicitly set in 1491 DR, and considering this answer by Ed Greenwood about dating the adventure, this wiki will use 1491 DR for events related to both versions of the adventure.
