Niwott

Niwott is a fictional settlement located within the world of the Dragonlance campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It is situated in the northern region of the continent of Ansalon, specifically in the area known as the Ice Peaks. Niwott is characterized by its harsh, cold climate and the hardy folk who inhabit it. The settlement is typically depicted as a small, isolated community, often reliant on hunting and trapping for survival in the rugged terrain.

The primary inhabitants of Niwott are usually humanoids adapted to the cold, such as humans and dwarves, though other races may be present. Due to its remote location, Niwott often serves as a point of interest for adventurers seeking rare resources, ancient lore, or passage through the treacherous northern wilderness. The settlement's economy is generally subsistence-based, with trade being infrequent and primarily for essential goods not readily available locally.

The lore surrounding Niwott sometimes involves tales of ancient ruins in the surrounding mountains or encounters with the unique flora and fauna of the Ice Peaks. Its existence highlights the diverse and challenging environments that exist within the Dragonlance world, offering a stark contrast to more temperate or civilized regions. Navigating to or from Niwott is often an adventure in itself, requiring knowledge of survival skills and a willingness to face the dangers of the northern territories.
