Ruinspoke Ruinspoke was a frontier village located near the border of Tymanther and Mulhorand . Ruinspoke served as the base of operations for adventurers and official Tymantheran expeditions sent to explore the old ruins of Unther . Description . Ruinspoke was a small village surrounded by a few farms and Untheran ruins in the outlying areas . It was protected by walls and had three gates , one in each of the main roads out of Ruinspoke . Those gates were named the Homeward Gate , on the west side , that was connected to a large and well - maintained road that led to Djerad Thymar ; Tuanek ' s Gate , on the north , named in honor to Lord Jalt Tuanek and that was connected to a path that led north to High Imaskar , and later Mulhorand ; and the Ruins Gate , on the southeast side of town , the most heavily guarded gate as it led to an unsettled area full of Untheran ruins . The largest building in Ruinspoke was Lord Tuanek ' s estate , that doubled as his office of power and as the area used for town celebrations , festivals , and gatherings . The outlying areas were inhabited by farmers , ranchers , woodsmen , hunters , and trappers , and weren ' t heavy patrolled by Ruinspoke ' s soldiers . In times of crisis , those people fled to Ruinspoke in search of safe refuge . Government . Clan Jalt was in charge of ruling Ruinspoke . In 1480 DR , the ruler of Ruinspoke was Lord Jalt Tuanek . Military . Aside from a small garrison of soldiers from Clan Jalt , that served as the city guard , the Vanquisher had assigned two squadrons of Lance Defenders to the village , each led by a Lance Scout . The Platinum Cadre also had a small contingent of their own forces stationed in town . Adventurers were also hired when needed to bolster the town defenses . Economy . Ruinspoke was a prosperous village for its size , thanks to the farms and ranches located near the village and the strong , orderly leadership of Clan Jalt . The Gem Assayers Union , as well as Clans Travek and Treg , had small offices in town to mine gem s and ores from nearby mines . Ruinspoke was also a popular place for adventurers to offer their services to escort trade caravans or to explore old ruins . As of 1480 DR , Ruinspoke also had good trade deals with nearby High Imaskari settlements . Inhabitants . Dragonborn made up about 60 % of Ruinspoke population , and tieflings also had a significant presence in the region . Dwarves , eladrin , elves , halfling s , half - elves , and human s also lived in Ruinspoke and its outlying areas . Religion . The Temple of Bahamut was the most prominent religion in Ruinspoke , and because of that members of the Platinum Cadre were openly accepted and had prominent positions in town . The High Priest of Bahamut as of 1480 DR , was Dauret , a firm yet helpful male dragonborn . Ilmater was also very popular in the region and had a small temple in Ruinspoke . A mulhorandi elder human woman named Tihaket was the priest of Ilmater as of 1480 DR . History . Ruinspoke was settled by members of Clan Jalt a few years after the foundation of Tymanther , in the last decades of the 14th century DR . Since then , the village was used as the base of operations for scholars , explorers and adventurers investigating Untheran old ruins , and Ruinspoke became a thriving and prosperous village . In 1479 DR , Ruinspoke began to recruit more adventuring bands than usual because of the kobold tribes inhabiting the outlying areas , that had become bolder and attacked the nearby farms . The situation worsened over time , and in 1480 DR the town was attacked and invaded by monsters , servants of the lamia Queen Sisay , who wanted to use the invasion as a test to see if her forces were capable of invade Tymanther . Ruinspoke may have been saved by a group of adventurers , although the village was heavily damaged in the invasion ; or may have been destroyed by the monsters during this invasion . Regardless of its fate , Tymantheran military forces were sent to deal with the monster threat , and after they destroyed Queen Sisay armies , they rebuilt Ruinspoke in the late months of 1480 DR . Places of interest . There were several inns in town , the most popular ones being Hammerfell , owned by a no - nonsense dragonborn named Olket , and Home Cookin ' , owned by a gregarious female half - elf named Imiere . The best tavern in Ruinspoke was the Full Mugs , owned by Temget , a male dwarf who prided himself of his homebrewed beer . The most important shops in Ruinspoke were Hikath ' s General Provisions , owned by Almer Hikath , a male human whose family had lived all of their lives in the region ; and Spoke in ' Spoke , owned and operated by a quiet elderly halfling couple , Jiran and Kelsa Wheelfixer . Their son , Wielfan , rented their stables to travelers and adventurers .
