Kurast's Tower is a wizard's tower in the Kingdom of Nyrond at the source of the Flessern River.
Geography
[edit | edit source]Kurast's Tower is located at the source of the Flessern River, where the river rises to the surface abruptly from a system of aquifers and flows from a prominent hill overlooking of the landscape.[1] The tower is located at the northern end of The Sword Road.
History
[edit | edit source]A humble 40-foot has been built on top of the hill. In Spring 585 CY, due to the location of the tower on the border with the former Prelacy of Almor, a garrison of 400 troops was stationed there[2]. The tower is owned by a Kurast, a water elementalist. The tower's dungeons open into the caverns below the hill which Kurast uses to conduct magical experiments.[1] Kurast had used water elementals to more than once destroy orcs attempting to advance into Nyrond.[2]
