Llast

Llast is a town a day or two's travel north of Neverwinter, mainly known for its small harbor as well as its quarry and stone cutting, and the fact that it has yet to be as heavily policed as the rest of the Neverwintan Sovereign State.

## Description

The sleepy port town is walled in by small and old stone walls, and its streets are decorated by townhouses constructed by stone from the local quarry and watering holes.

Ruins of old stone structures that were once collapsed but have never been rebuilt are scattered around the town.

### The sea hag's lair

Moving down through the cold and murky ocean water, it seems almost polluted. Not only is it dark, it is clouded by muck. Despite this, there is an opening that can be spotted. A small underwater cave entrance nestled between a few large pieces of rock and hidden by the pollution and kelp swaying with the waves and underwater currents.

Swimming into the cave, you become surrounded by the dark rock walls smoothed down by erosion and covered with underwater plant growth. It begins to steer upwards as all light disappears behind, and following the natural flow of the cave, you go up until you reach a small underwater chamber.

Moving further through the dark waters, the cavern continues on a bit more. Then, with the gradual rise in elevation as the cavern stretches into the land underneath Llast, you close in on a surface. Through the dirty water, there are large amounts of rubbish floating on the surface to the point where it covers the entire surface. Half rotten bodies of fish with bite marks, strings of meat browned by rot, more kelp, and what you swear to be torn arm mixed in, the skin cut up barely hanging on to the limb that's drifting around on the surface, which has small ripples from falling drops of water from above. The sight makes the stomach turn.

In the end of the cavern is a small area clear of water. The air is heavy, extremely humid, but most of all the stench is overpoweringly putrid. As if a tidal wave of sewer bile had washed through a fish market. The floor is wet and slippery. What this space of the cavern contains however, is quite a curious sight. Hanging from the stalactites above are cages crafted from woven seaweed and fish bones. A few are empty, but other than that most contain body parts in various states of decay or various trinkets that have been heavily tarnished.

## History

An evil sea hag cursed the Heroic Seagull - Captain Brook Kingsley's ship - for two reasons in the early days of 1499 DR. A shipmate named Herbert Koster, no longer wishing to sail traded the ability to sail on the Heroic Seagull, but was bound by contract to work until they made port in Waterdeep a year from now, made for a bright future with the sea hag who had ventured into town to scout out another child to eat. This caused the sun to rise a bit earlier the following day all the while the Heroic Seagull lost its ability to sail.

Captain Brook Kingsley then seeked out the Finders' Four to cure his ship of the curse that has befallen it. The party slayed Beulah, as well as Aveline Sovrae. They also helped Baern Throndor clear out his quarry as it had been infested by rust monsters as punishment for stealing his adamantine pickaxe and coins.
