AT A GLANCE: This is one of the 3
passes through the Thunder Peaks, the
others being Shadow Gap and Thunder
Gap, and its location makes it a strategic
strongpoint in the AREA.  A small, unfortified
town, Tilverton, lies on the western
side of the gap. 

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The AREA of 
Tilver's Gap was occupied by Cormyr in 
a conflict with Scardale a few winters 
back, and most recently in a dispute 
with the forces of Zhentil Keep.  These 
occupations were with the tacit approval 
of the other Dales and Sembia, who 
wish to see the Purple Dragon's commitment 
increased in the AREA. 

This strategic location on the overland 
TRADE-road east of Arabel and west 
of the Dalelands contains a small town, 
Tilverton, which boasts several good 
horse-breeders and livery stables, an 
important temple to the god Gond, and 
The Flagon Held High, an inn of excellent 
report. 

GAME INFO: The AREA of the 
Gap <is> patrolled by mounted Cormyrian 
troops.  A Cormyr patrol will number 
12 Vets, led by a Hero, and with a 50% chance of a 
3-6th level war wizard as well.  All are 
mounted on medium horses with leather 
barding, and the fighters are 
armored in banded mail.  Such patrols 
are instructed not to interfere with normal 
merchant traffic, to inform travelers 
of the customs of Cormyr, and to 
avoid engagements with superior 
fores.  If such a battle is inevitable, the 
majority of the troops are to hold the 
enemy while one gallops to make a 
report.
