Moonrise Towers

Moonrise Towers was a fortified building located to the west of Elturel. "These Absolute wretches are rallied at Moonrise Towers, farther along the Chionthar. Whoever is behind this magic must be there."

- Halsin

Description
This fort was the residence of the heraldic office of the High Heralds, the Crescentcoat.

Geography
Moonrise Towers was built on the banks of the River Chionthar and to the east of Anga Vled. This fortified building could be travelled to from a mountain pass, the Risen Road, or through the Underdark (via a temple of Selûne). A toll was required for passage through the nearby area.

History
Circa 1367 DR, Naernythra Thaloudyn was the holder of the Crescentcoat office, and lived at Moonrise Towers.

Some time prior to or during 1492 DR, a ragged map was stashed at Raven Beach. This map was used by the Harpers and specifically marked Moonrise Towers with an inky crescent close to the forest. A cache was located below the marked crescent. According to goblins travelling the Risen Road, Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard was taken towards Moonrise Towers. Archdruid Halsin claimed that cultists of the Absolute had gathered at Moonrise Towers, and this place may also provide a means for removing a mind flayer tadpole from oneself. He also claimed that these parasites seemed to be coming from Moonrise Towers, and that they had been magically altered by followers of the Absolute. The drow priestess of the Absolute, Minthara, knew of an overland path to the fort, which was the "heart of the Absolute's power". Apparently, a creature in her service could guide one to the towers via a mountain pass.
