Skullspire

The Skullspire was a temple found within the south Faerûnian town of Tulmon on the coast of the Lake of Steam in the 14 century DR. Over the years it has served as the headquarters of the Myrkulyte Conclave of Doom as well as a holy house dedicated to Cyric and later Kelemvor.

Description
The temple was a soaring, black tower that overlooked the surrounding town of Tulmon and the nearby ruins known as Crypt City.

History
For many years the Skullspire served as home to the Conclave of Doom which presided over the church of Myrkul and overseen by Deep Elder Doom Haaeluth Muribaert. During these years, many priests of the Lord of Bones would conduct experiments in necromancy, animating monstrous body parts such as jaws, claws and other appendages into undead abominations. These horrors would be relocated to the Crypt City via the extended subterranean tunnels that connected the ruins to Skullspire.

Following the destruction of Myrkul in the Time of Troubles the clergy within Skullspire converted to the worship of Cyric. It was an painless transition, due in part to the emotionless neutrality of the Myrkulyte priests. Ten years later, in 1368 DR, when Kelemvor ascended as the God of the Dead, the temple refocused their worship once again.

When the priests of Skullspire converted to the faith of Kelemvor, they ceased their horrific necromantic experiments within the temple. They shifted their focus on the destruction of the undead they had previously created.
