Neverwinter, also known as the City of Skilled Hands and the Jewel of the North, was a bustling, cultured city-state in northwest Faerûn. It was regarded by many as the most cosmopolitan and civilized city in all of The Sword Coast North. Known for its craftsmen and gardeners, the city's multi-colored-glass lamps, precision water clocks, exquisite jewelry, and magnificent gardens ensured the warm winters were colorful and the summers were rich with fresh fruit.
After a series of major calamities, much of the city lies in ruins and the population has dwindled to a fraction of what it once was.
