| Part of | Dragonspine Mountains |
A mixed-race village (mostly humans and kobolds) on the southern slopes of the Dragonspine Mountains, north of the Dalelands and Cormyr along a river near Zhentil Keep. This is Kavu's home village — where he grew up as "Marcus" before leaving to chase flames across the world.
Kavu's Warren — the Flameheart Kobold Clan's underground home — is within a few miles. Toothmaw Cliffs and The Scar are both within approximately 20 miles.
Geography
Flamemeet sits at a natural crossroads between the human settlements of the Dalelands and the kobold warrens to the north in the Dragonthorn foothills. A river tributary near Zhentil Keep runs nearby, making it a trade node between the kobold craftwork of the mountains and the human commerce of the south.
About the Town
| Place | Description |
|---|---|
| Red Dragon Inn | Larkin's inn; the social hub |
| Killzara's Market Stall | Kobold merchant; Killzara Brightscale |
| Meeting Hall | Town council; Burgomaster Ivor Blackwell's seat |
| Kobold Quarter | Edge of town; leads toward Kavu's Warren |
Vol'kathar previously demanded only gold tribute from the region, leaving settlements alone. That arrangement ended when Father Corvan arrived and subjugated the dragon — beginning the cult's use of local villagers as sacrifices at Toothmaw Cliffs.

Visited Via Time Travel
The party arrived via Ember Compass — transported 72 hours into the past (Hammer 12, 1508) while inside the Tarrasque. They emerged just before the Toothmaw Cliffs ritual was to complete. Their earlier selves were simultaneously in the Underdark. They disrupted a cultist hostage-taking at the tavern, gathered intel, then marched toward Toothmaw Cliffs — feeding directly into Session 1.
