High Tower of Sorcery

Area description

Ages ago, when the mortals of the Realms were still experimenting with magic, a coven of archmages deemed that the use of magic needed to be learned and controlled to avoid terrible disasters. Thus the Guild of Mages was created along with the High Tower of Sorcery. After many attacks from the beings of Darkness, the mages also found it necessary to weave a powerful grove of shadows around the Tower, so that only the stoutest adventurers could reach them. Since that time, the Mages of Despair, led by the powerful Mistress of Magic, have attempted to grasp the idea of magic and understand how it truly works. Through all this, the Guild has gained such respect that Duke Luther has permitted the building of a Tower of Sorcery in Darkhaven.
