Ahghairon's Tower

Ahghairon's Tower was the home, and eventually the final resting place of Ahghairon, the first Open Lord of Waterdeep.

Location
Ahghairon's Tower was located in a courtyard at the intersection of the Street of Silks and Waterdeep Way in the Castle Ward of Waterdeep.

Defenses
A series of 6 barriers were put in place, to prevent entry into the tower. To successfully gain entry to the tower, all wards required keys. Opening each barrier gave a limited amount of time to open the next, as each would reactivate after a short time.

History
According to song, Ahghairon slew five demons and closed a demonic portal during the Goreclipse. The tower was then constructed on the site of the portal.

Upon his death in 1256 DR, the tower became his tomb. His nine apprentices warded the entire tower to prevent intruders from disturbing the first Open Lord's final resting place.

 * 1479 DR Khondar Naomal was nearly able to reach the inside of the tower, but was thwarted by the new Blackstaff, Vajra Safahr, and her allies.
