T1. Market Square and Tower
The center of Triboar, where the Long Road meets the Evermoor Way, is a huge open space used as a market by local farmers and visiting peddlers. Dominating the space is the two-story Tower of the Lord Protector, a simple stone keep that leans decidedly to the east. Hanging above the entrance is the dusty banner of the lord protector, which depicts three black boars running toward the head of the banner on a blood-red field.
The current Lord Protector of Triboar is Darathra Shendrel, from Waterdeep, elected by the people of Triboar to command the town militia, settle disputes, and keep the peace. She is widely regarded as a fair and clear-headed leader.
The regular militia takes turns serving in the Twelve, a mounted police force that patrols the town, the roads that lead between the outlying ranches, and the eastern half of the Triboar Trail. The lord protector also has the authority to draft mercenaries and adventurers, as needed.
T2. NORTH CARAVAN CAMPGROUND
Caravans passing through Triboar use this fenced-in field as a place to park their wagons and contain their oxen for free. There's also plenty of room to pitch tents and build campfires. Fresh water can be drawn from a 30-foot-deep stone well in the southeast corner of the yard.
A cottage stands in the east comer of the lot. Its elderly occupant, Darz Helgar, is paid by the lord protector to keep the town's campgrounds clean by removing the garbage and burying the excrement.
T3. WEST CARAVAN CAMPGROUND
This campground is similar to area T2. A 30-foot-deep stone well in the middle of the yard provides fresh water for guests.
T4. HAPPY HORSE RANCH
The Kamveller family raises, trains, sells, and stables horses. Three large buildings stand on their property: a two-story log house with a detached outhouse (the family estate); a stone storehouse full of used saddles, bridles, and reins; and stone stables connected to a fenced-in riding yard and grazing field.
T5. WAINWRIGHT'S WAGONS
A longtime fixture in Triboar, Wainwright's Wagons has its own horse-driven sawmill and large buildings for lumber storage.
T6. THE LION'S SHARE
This building was recently purchased and refurbished by the Lionshield Coster, a merchant company based in the city of Yartar. Above the store's entrance hangs a polished shield emblazoned with the head of a stylized golden lion on a blue background.
T7. RANSOR'S OPEN ROAD
This establishment once sold feed and caravan supplies, as well as the services of caravan guards. Its owner passed away many years ago, and the business has been closed ever since. The yard is a riot of weeds, and the buildings have become havens for rats and other vermin. Locals have removed most of the wooden shingles from the rooftops, using them to replace the old shingles on their own roofs.
T8. THE CART AND COIN
This establishment sells and swaps horses and draft animals, and also deals in feed, horseshoes, and gear.
T9. THE TRIBOAR TRAVELERS
Merchant sponsors can hire the personnel and the vehicles of the Triboar Travelers to make caravan runs to Waterdeep or Everlund or hire adventurers to serve as guards.
T10. NORTHSHIELD HOUSE
Northshield House is a fine local inn-stately, clean, and quiet.
T11. OTHOVIR'S HARNESS SHOP
A skilled harness-maker named Othovir lives and works here, making the finest elk-skin harnesses in the Dessarin Valley. He hunts the elk, keeps their skins, and sells the rest to the Lionshield Coster. His harnesses have elaborate designs pressed into the leather, and his work is popular among Waterdhavian nobles who enjoy horseback riding.
T12. THE TALKING TROLL
The Troll is what Waterdhavians would call a dive - a dim, smelly, low-beamed place crammed with mismatched, battered old furniture and drunks. Part of the roof caught fire two summers ago and has yet to be repaired. The holes in the roof have allowed birds to build nests among the beams, and the floor and tables are speckled with bird droppings. The Troll's one redeeming feature is its large, well-stocked cellar.
T13. THE FROST-TOUCHED FROG
This old inn is boarded up and empty. Vandals have carved lewd phrases into the planks covering the doors and windows, and tall weeds have the building surrounded.
T14. SIX WINDOWS
This chilly, creaking, decrepit wooden rooming house is run by Tolmara Hysstryn.
T15. BOAR'S REST
Built on a ridge that overlooks the rest of town, Boar's Rest is the stone mansion of a rich, retired adventurer named Hyuth Kolstaag.
T16. THE TRIBOAR ARMS
The Triboar Arms has burned to the ground twice and been rebuilt twice. The tavern is a popular hangout for rangers and scouts, most of whom sell their services as wilderness guides.
T17. ULDINATH'S ARMS
This hilltop smithy across the road from Foehammer's Forge (area T18) is run by Harriet Uldinath, the great-granddaughter of the establishment's founder.
T18. FOEHAMMER'S FORGE
Ghelryn Foehammer makes fine weapons, armor, and other metalworks.
T19. MERIVOLD PONY PARK
North of the Evermoor Way, a quaint cottage stands near a brightly painted barn topped with a pony-shaped weather vane. A white picket fence encloses a small field behind the barn. Set among flowers on the front lawn is a sign that reads "Merivold Pony Park." Two spinster-sisters named Janna and Leera Merivold raise and train ponies here, including riding ponies for halflings.
T20. EVERWYVERN HOUSE
This expensive inn caters to Waterdhavian nobility and other well-to-do folk who wouldn't be caught dead in a more modest establishment. The property is situated behind the Pleasing Platter (area T21) on a beautifully landscaped patch of land with private stables, private gardens, and a meandering path through a small orchard. The inn itself is a beautiful stone building with lamps hanging from its eaves and a turret in one corner.
T21. THE PLEASING PLATTER
This fine restaurant is next door to the grandiose Everwyvern House. Its tables are far apart. Each is screened from the others by strategically placed plants, statues, or pillars. Minstrels play soft and soothing music in the background.
T22. GRAVEYARD
Perched atop a ridge at the south end of town is an old cemetery where many of Triboar's first settlers are buried under weatherworn headstones. The oldest graves are located on a plot of land enclosed by an old, unpainted picket fence.
T23. APOTHECARY
Across the road from Northshield House (area T10) is the town apothecary, a slouched wooden cottage with ivy-covered walls. Parked outside the apothecary's front door is a ramshackle wheelbarrow, hanging above which is a wooden sign shaped like a potion bottle.
T24. GWAERON'S SLUMBER
Gwaeron Windstrom, the god of tracking, is said to visit this mystical forest. Rangers who venerate Gwaeron or Mielikki, the goddess of forests, come here for inspiration.
T25. MARSHALING FIELD
An old, partially ruined wooden fence encloses a large, muddy field south of town. In years past, armies gathered and camped here before marching off to war. The field has seen little use in recent years.
