Countdown to Neverwinter
Let's have some Previous Edition 'Fluff' easily available history, legends and lore of the old city and surrounding area.  Some of these old haunts, power groups, secret nooks, and lost ruins may have survived or has been uncovered with the catastrophic events the area suffered with the event of Spellplague.  Even if some of it was lost or destroyed let us remember them for what they are or were.  

Does anyone have any Realmslore from the old Neverwinter before the new release?

See 2e's Volo's Guide to the North for most of the relevant stuff about 'old' Neverwinter.

Think a few of them made it into 3e's Dragons of Faerun, looking back over the list.

2e's Volo's Guide to the North is a wonderful source that cuts off any thought stimuli for those just skimming here for details.  I haven't the time to put a lot of that in and will say, "You should check out Volo's Guide to the North  to find details of the past but also I skim over those old maps like I've just walked into some dusty section of Candle Keep after a long trek down the Way of the Lion.  Blowing the dust away from a few books I find one that is 21 years old I suppose in the Realms that would be 121 years.  I see names of places that would make for great search topics in Volo's Guide.  Maybe I should list a few to stimulate those searches....

Mount Sar
Mount Helimbrar
Rassalantar
Amphail
Red Larch
The Stone Bridge
Westbridge
Kryptgarden Forest
South Krypt
Leilon
Conyberry
Triboar
Berun's Hill
Long Saddle
The Crags
The High Road
Port Last
Mere of Dead Men
Iniarr's Tower
The Tower of Twilight
Agatha's Lair
Well that's a start on places listed on this map I found another with more...  I wonder how much they might plan on detailing or would it be based upon the rebuilt city and it's many intrigues...

Just south of the Mere

Well that about sums up the old site names.  Should be interesting to see what folk may remember of these after 100 years of Spell-plague.  If they are forgotten in the new material just remember they are there in Forgotten Realms.
