Fort Thorn a small settlement with a stone keep beset by feral fey, owlbears, flame drakes, lizardfolk, bugbears, and other threats in the Bloodsworn Vale. Around 4707 AR, then-King of Korvosa Eodred Arabasti II appointed Sir Gyrad Tolgrith to establish Fort Thorn and a trade route through the vale.

Structures

Aside from a gatehouse, fortifications, watchtowers, and stables along its walls, Fort Thorn consists of only seven other permanent structures:

• Open barracks for visitors
• A two-story stone keep that serves as a garrison for the fort's more than 40 soldiers
• The Boar's Bones inn and tavern
• Wilderness Wares, a general shop
• A stone shrine to Erastil
• Partik's Forge
• Four Wheels Hall, a warehouse and hall for caravan drivers
