The city’s layout was roughly the shape of an eye, with the Sleeping River as a long axis running roughly east–west. At one end was the harbor and at the other was the Opalwood forest. Four gates penetrated its walls, in the northwestern, northeastern, southwestern, and southeastern corners.

Among its most prominent landmarks were its three spectacular, intricately carved bridges: the Dolphin, the Winged Wyvern, and the Sleeping Dragon, considered the city’s emblems by its inhabitants. Under these, the Sleeping River cascaded over small, gentle waterfalls as they coursed into the city’s bustling harbor.

The city is full of beautiful and ingeniously designed buildings with many famous in their own right, such as the House of Knowledge, Silverhearth’s tall and many-windowed temple of Oghma; the Hall of Justice, the temple of Tyr and the public office for the rulers of the city; and Castle Silverhearth, the castle of the ruler of Silverhearth. In addition, the reputations of such unique taverns as the Moonstone Mask, the Shining Serpent Inn, and the Fallen Tower reached far beyond the city’s walls and further added to the city’s distinction.

Inhabitants

Silverhearth, over the years, has become a metropolis, with members of many races living alongside the common human and half-elven families. The rare eladrin, and even tieflings were common sights among the citizens. A sizable delegation of dragonborn mercenaries had been hired by Lord Silverhearst alongside the Mintarn ones to protect the city

Fun facts

Silverhearth was the origin of the phrase “By the clocks of Silverhearth”, used to swear something to be completely true and honest, declare something to be precise and accurate, or to complain something was needlessly perfectionist and pedantic. This was of course a reference to the precision of its timepieces.

You can buy paper crowns on the streets that children like to wear. They try to snatch them from each other and the last one left crowned becomes king or queen for a day.
