Wyllow's Tower

Wyllow's Tower was a squat stone tower located within Wyllowwood, the 5 level of the dungeon complex known as Undermountain. It was the home of an eccentric druid named Wyllow.

Description
The stone tower was constructed to resemble a short tree with many boughs extending from its 2 and 3 stories. The main entrance to the tower was an arched double-door that stood 12 ft (3.7 m) tall on its southern side. Visitors could gain the resident's attention by pulling a rope attached to a ringing bell.

The interior was exceptionally well-lit, by beams of bright, magical light that radiated from the ceiling.

1 floor
The ground floor of Wyllow's tower was dominated by the druid's throne room. It had a dusty floor, covered in leaves and small branches and a vaulted ceiling that stood 20' (6.1 m) tall. On the east, north and west-facing walls was a stone balcony, 10 ft (3 m) high, that was supported by stone pillars, carved to resemble the trunks of trees. Their branches extended out to form the balcony's rails.

The throne Wyllow sat upon was crafted from crystal by the dwarves and radiated an aura of divination. It was originally gifted to the druid by her late husband Yinark.

Also on this floor was a hidden armory, decorated with frescoes depicting battles between the drow of the Underdark and the elves of Faerûn. The last panel showed a dramatic confrontation against Lolth in the Demonweb Pits. The northern side of the first floor had stairs that led up to the second story, decorated with more frescoes that displayed scenes of elves and dwarves exchanging gifts with one another.

Inhabitants
The stony boughs of Wyllow's tower were home to several giant bats, who protected it from anyone who attempted to gain access by climbing its facade. Except in the case of an attempted break-in, the bats only became aggressive when defending themselves or as directed by Wyllow.

An awakened and particularly polite tree named Halastree served as Wyllow's usher, and greeted any visitors who approached her tower's front doors.
