Durlag's Tower

Durlag's Tower is a large tower south of the Wood of Sharp Teeth, situated on top of a rough patch of hard rock. This local landmark is the isolated keep of Durlag Trollkiller, son of Bolbur, a dwarven hero said to have massed a large quantity of treasure and stored it here and in a few other locations. This treasure is protected by all manner of magical wards and mechanical traps, the latter of Durlag's own devising.

The tower itself, built entirely of volcanic stone and in fair condition given the amount of time and neglect involved, lies atop a volcanic plug that dominates the surrounding lands. Durlag, aided by hired dwarves, is said to have hollowed out the mountain for the rock that made up his tower and used the space created to hide further treasure. Durlag is now long dead, and many have come seeking his treasure over the decades, with varying degrees of success. Within the last 50 years, a new inhabitant, rumor says a fiend, has taken up residence within the remains of the tower and uses the defences created by Durlag to keep both itself and the treasure safe.
