Tethgard

Tethgard was an ancient, ruined city located in Hullack Forest.

Description
The city was overgrown and mostly composed of isolated pillars, arches, half-arches, and stairs.

Inhabitants
The watching spirit of Duskreene, Lady of Tethgard, resided there. She was an ancestress of Mirt.

History
The city predated the realm of Cormyr.

In the 1360s DR, stories circulated in Cormyr of the ruins of legendary Tethgard, hidden in the depths of the Hullack Forest. These became a draw for adventurers operating out of Thunderstone.

In 1479 DR, the ruins of Tethgard were the site of a bloody battle as, after failing to take Elminster, Storm Silverhand, and the Simbul into custody, a group consisting of War Wizards and Purple Dragons unleashed their magics on the trio. Defending the three of them with a spell-shield that rebounded his opponents' spells back at them, Elminster slew or maimed much of the group. The rest retreated.
