Liches can spend decades if not centuries waiting for the right moment to strike and rise to power.
CreaturesBlack Dragon
The trailer quickly introduces the first fearsome beast, a Black Dragon.
Intelligent and greedy, Black Dragons are often categorized as chaotic evil.
This enormous creature can be seen waiting with its toothy mouth open, hoping to swallow the warrior whole.
Displacer Beast
The Bard is seen facing off against a dreaded Displacer Beast.
Usually transparent, they are hard to see, and therefore easy to accidentally land in.
Owlbear
The Owlbear is a dangerous, yet accidentally adorable creature.
A wizard’s experiment gone wrong, or possibly right (look how fluffy it is!
), this creature is exactly what its name suggests, a combination of an owl and a bear.

The sticky goo that exudes from their mouths is nearly impossible to detach oneself from.
Audiences cant wait to see how their favorite spells are CGId into the film.
Additionally, what comes off as a Driftglobe is seen floating over a crowd in the streets of Neverwinter.
LocationsNelanther Isles
The Nelanther Isles were quickly shown in the beginning of the trailer.
The thieves are seen running across the uninhabitable islands, as waves lap at the treacherous cliff sides.
This metropolitan city of splendor was built around a mountain and housed within high walls.
The thieves can be seen on horseback riding across a grassy hill surrounded by giant fallen statues.
This weather anomaly is due to a fire elemental located underneath the city’s surface.
Located along the waterfront, just north of Waterdeep, is where the city lies.
Its jagged strong walls reflect the unforgiving land around it as it houses the realm’s most dangerous criminals.
