Bospir was a small sheep market town found in Cormyr's eastern frontier accessible by the East Way.[1]
Description[]
The small town was a dirty cluster of rustic cottages built around a trio of wells were found in the center of the village. The cottages were encircled by a number of cattle and sheep ranches. Despite Bospir having only one inn, the town had many rooming houses that offered lodgings, paid by the tenday.[1]
Geography[]
The town had only one road that led towards it – the East Way, north of the village.[1] Bospir was connected to the East Way by two minor roads that formed a triangle. To the south of the town was the Wyvernwater lake with the Immer Trail running along its shores bur not leading to Bospir. The closest notable settlements to Bospir were Arabel to the northwest and Sunset Hill to the northeast.[2]
Trade[]
The economy of Bospir was entirely dependent on raising sheep. As such, the stink of sheep could be smelled everywhere in the village. Bospir offered little to its visitors, apart from cattle purchase, quality wool produced there, and fancy lamb meats.[1]
Culture[]
Bospir was known to be a highly superstitious community. This was exacerbated in 1370 DR under the dark influence of Nalavarauthatoryl, when the villagers' fear of evil magics, blight, and curses, starting witch hunts, justified or not. One unfortunate traveler was burnt on a stake for simply wearing suspicious-looking black cloak.[3]
History[]
As of the Year of the Shield, 1367 DR, Bospir had a spy placed there by Lord Vorik Aris, a past supporter of revolutionary Gondegal, the Lost King.[4]
Notable Locations[]
- Drover's Inn, Bospir's only inn as of the late 14th century DR.[1]
- Nightbleat Tavern, a rowdy tavern that catered to the local shepherds.[1]
