Lathtarl's Lantern

Lathtarl's Lantern (also seen as Latharl's LanternThe name is commonly written as 'Lathtarl' (with a 't'), but occasionally as 'Latharl' (without a 't'). This article adopts the former spelling as it is much more common.) was a small fishing village on the Sword Coast at the mouth of the Winding Water. It was close to Warlock's Crypt.
==History==
In the 11 century DR,Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast, p. 49, states Lathtarl was active "some 300 years ago". Volo's Guide is set somewhere between 1366 and 1367 DR. a pirate named Lathtarl crashed ashore here while fleeing the navy of Evermeet. With his ship destroyed, crew much reduced, and himself crippled, he improvised a plan to crash other unsuspecting vessels against the rocky shore. Word quickly spread among other pirates and slavers that this was a safe harbor—for them, at least.
The pirates eventually stopped crashing ships there after threats from merchants and the Lords of Waterdeep.
==Legends==
There were rumors of two dead kings who perished at the marsh at the mouth of the Winding Water: a rebel lord from Tethyr named King Tredarath and King Beverdaur of Cortryn.
