Severed Hand

The Severed Hand is an elven fortress built in the early 900s. It is located at the base of The Spine of the World across from the Fields of Slaughter. For centuries, elves lived in peace in the fortress. Then, an army of orcs came, and a battle took place on the soon-to-be-named Fields of Slaughter (named after the battle). The elves abandoned the magnificent fortress.

The Layout
The Hand is separated into four floors, and on the fourth floor, four towers and one "fake" tower that leads to nowhere, (like five fingers) branch out of it, each having four floors themselves. The four towers are the Wizard tower, the Cleric tower, the Officer tower, and the War tower. The first floor is the greeting hall, the second floor is the guild (where the library, workhouses, etc. are) floor, the third floor is the throne floor, and the fourth floor is where the lodging (barracks, slave quarters, etc.) floor, and the four towers branch out of this floor.

The Legion of the Chimera's Occupation
In the year [1306 DR], the cambions Isair and Madae brought their army to the abandoned fortress to make it the base of their operation. After enslaving hundereds of men and women, a huge restoration project commenced. Isair and Madae sent emissaries to the Ten-Towns to create some kind of a peace treaty for trading. The mayor of Bryn-Shander thought sending his emissary with pastries filled with holy water to the wins, which burned them because of their demonic nature, which ignited a war. Soon, a band of adventurers that had sailed from Luskan to aid Targos made their way to the fortress. They found a huge slave population, which they freed by slaying the [glabrezu]] guard. They met a mage named Orrick the Gray, who informed them the whole fortress was collapsing into limbo because of the intense changes the twins had been setting on the fortress. When the adventurers went to battle Isair and Madae, the twins began to be sucked into limbo themselves. The fortress followed, and most of the Hand was destroyed.
