'''''Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter''''' is a Free2Play MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) developed by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World Entertainment. It was released on the 20th of June 2013.
The game deals with the after effects of an attack on the city of [[Neverwinter]] by [[Valindra Shadowmantle]] and a [[dracolich]]. Several factions and individuals attempt to take advantage of the chaos caused by the attack
==Plot==
The Player Character washes up on the beach after their ship was sunk by the dracolich. They fight their way through Valindra's [[undead]] minions to reach the relative safety of Neverwinter's walls.
===The Crown of Neverwinter===
During an investigation of the vaults beneath the [[Hall of Justice]], the player discovers that the [[Sons of Alagondar#Nashers|Nashers]] managed to sneak into the vault during Valindra's attack and steal the ''Crown of Neverwinter''. After tracking down the Nasher rogue "Honor" Reigh, whom the player saw stealing the crown with another Nasher, clues point to a Nasher base in the [[Neverwinter#Blacklake|Blacklake district]]. While in the Blacklake district, which has been overrun with Nashers, the player soon finds out that the other thief they saw has been kidnapped by the [[Dead Rats]]. Down in the sewers beneath the city, the player locates the other thief, Gothwan, who claims that his leader Karzov left him to die and gladly gives up Karzov's location which should also be where the ''Crown'' is being held. The Nashers set fire to their safehouse when the Player arrives and Karzov escapes to their headquarters, an old warehouse, where the player kills Karzov and brings the ''Crown'' back to [[New Neverwinter#Protector's Enclave|Protector's Enclave]]
===Orc Invasion===
After clearing out some kobolds that have been boiling up from the sewers, the Player is informed that some [[orc]]s from [[Many-Arrows]] have invaded the Tower District. While battling the orcs and their Nasher allies, it is discovered that whoever is behind the attack has sealed themselves within the [[Neverwinter#Cloak Tower|Cloak Tower]]. When the shamans maintaining the wards are defeated, it is then possible to enter the Cloak Tower and deafeat the orc leaders.
===Spellplague===
The wife of a Neverwintan soldier was [[spellscar]]red and transforms into a monster when emotional. The Player is asked to see if there's a way to help her without invoking the [[Protector's Law]]. A [[wizard]] named Rhazzad has been giving the woman medicine to keep her sane and under control but her condition is worsening. To keep her out of [[Helm's Hold]], Rhazzad asks the Player to escort the woman through the sewers to his tower, fighting through Dead Rats along the way. When the player reports their actions however, suspicions about Rhazzad are raised.
A rumour points toward another wizard - Tualo the Bright - but upon reaching Tualo's home,the Player learns that monsters have been coming out of the house and killing people. Inside, the Player finds Tualo's apprentice who says a ritual scroll given to his master by Rhazzad opened a ''[[portal]]'' to the [[Far Realm]] which has to be closed. In an effort to rescue the soldier's wife from whatever Rhazzad is doing, the Player discovers that Rhazzad has sacrificed all of the spellscarred people that he's kept out of Helm's Hold to fuel a deadly magical explosion. A full assault is ordered on Rhazzad's tower before he can complete whatever plans he has for the [[Spellplague]] energy he has at his command and the Player, against orders rushes ahead of the main force to kill Rhazzad just in time to save the city.
===Blackdagger Bandits===
North of Neverwinter years ago, a Luskan pirate set up a bandit kingdom surrounding a fortified keep. The Player is put in contact with the local [[Harper]] cell to put a stop to the Blackdagger Bandits who still operate after the death of their founder and are disrupting trade along the [[High Road]].
The Player and their Harper contacts start by putting a stop to the [[wikipedia:Wrecking (shipwreck)|wrecking]] operations the Blackdagger Bandits are performing along the coast. This leads them to Melkhor Goldseeker, who has recently opened some mines as well as unearthed some ancient ruins. The Blackdagger Bandits kidnapped his niece for ransom and took over his mines. After rescuing Goldseeker's niece, the Harpers put the Player in contact with their spy in the bandits ranks who eventually informs the Player that their actions have caused the current leader of the Blackdagger Bandits to come out of hiding. The Player then tracks down the leader and assassinates him, putting a stop to organized banditry along the High Road and earning the friendship of the Harpers.
===Neverdeath Graveyard===
Undead are apparently rising out of their graves in Neverwinter's graveyard and the priests of [[Kelemvor]] who watch over the place seem to be overwhelmed. Some [[Red Wizards of Thay]] are using the undead to lure unsuspecting [[Doomguide]]s into their clutches to create even more powerful undead monstrosities and collecting relics for similar purposes. The thayan leader, Xivrox, hoped to raise Arleon the Unforgiven, a nigh unstoppable warrior of evil in life, as his undead servant.
