== Parnast ==
'''Parnast''' is a small village on the Sword Coast that serves as a waypoint for travelers and merchants. For approximately one year prior to the party's arrival, the village had been largely taken over by the [[Cult of the Dragon]] as a base of operations for their treasure transport activities centered around [[Skyreach Castle]].

=== Overview ===
Parnast is a modest settlement that became a focal point in the Cult of the Dragon's operations during their campaign to summon [[Tiamat]]. The cult established a significant presence in the village, using it as a staging ground for treasure collection and transport via the flying ice fortress known as Skyreach Castle.

The village's occupation by the cult created a complex situation for its residents. While many villagers appeared to tolerate or even accept the cult's presence due to the influx of wealth and goods flowing through the settlement, not all residents were content with the arrangement. The cult's operations brought both prosperity and danger to Parnast, fundamentally altering the character of the once-quiet village.

The village's strategic importance stemmed from its proximity to Skyreach Castle's landing site. The massive flying fortress, constructed of ice and capable of flight, would land near Parnast to load treasure destined for the cult's ritual sites. This made the village a crucial link in the cult's supply chain and a key target for those seeking to disrupt their plans.

=== Notable NPCs ===
* [[Odin]] – A wagon repair craftsman who was dissatisfied with the cult's occupation of Parnast. Recognizing the party as outsiders and learning of [[Talis the White]]'s own dissatisfaction with the cult leadership, Odin assisted the party in gaining access to Skyreach Castle without raising suspicion.

=== Quests & Events ===
* '''Skyreach Castle Infiltration''' – The party arrived in Parnast as part of their mission to disrupt the Cult of the Dragon's treasure transport operations. Using information provided by Talis the White, they posed as new cult recruits and successfully infiltrated Skyreach Castle.

* '''Shopping and Reconnaissance''' – During their time in Parnast, the party gathered crucial intelligence about Skyreach Castle, learning about its defenses, inhabitants, and the cult's operations. They also acquired supplies and made contact with local residents who were unhappy with the cult's presence.

* '''Cult Occupation''' – For roughly one year, Parnast had been under the influence of the Cult of the Dragon, with most residents either accepting or tolerating the situation due to the economic benefits. This occupation ended when the party successfully defeated [[Rezmir]] and seized control of Skyreach Castle.

=== Nearby Locations ===
* [[Skyreach Castle]] – The massive flying ice fortress that landed near Parnast to load treasure for the Cult of the Dragon
