Built along the warm-flowing Neverwinter River, whose unnatural heat is drawn from the depths of [[Mount Hotenow]], the city enjoys a rare climate where gardens bloom even in winter, a feature that has long defined its reputation and name. Once a center of peace, artistry, and trade, Neverwinter was nearly destroyed by plague, catastrophe, and the eruption of Hotenow, which shattered the land and brought the ruling line to an end. In the years since, it has been painstakingly rebuilt under the rule of [[Dagult Neverember]], rising again as a hub of commerce, culture, and political influence, though not without tension, as heavy-handed governance, lingering factions, and the scars of its past continue to shape its future.
