Sokol Keep

Sokol Keep is located on Thorn Island near Phlan. It is an ancient fortress to anyone looking at it. The keep's stone walls are charred, grayed, and desolated looking from dragon fire.

The Keep
In the large courtyard of the keep, it is evident that dragon fire had burned and destroyed most of the wooden buildings that lined the courtyard. The only exception is the only stone building, which is a temple to Tyr. The shrine is primarily still intact, but the wooden bell tower is in disrepair. The temple is located in the far left corner of the courtyard as you enter through the old wooden gates. The charred stable and blacksmith shop are on the right with a shed and barracks on the immediate left. In the center of the courtyard is what appears to be the keep's old mess hall, which is an open airy building with tables.

Tyrian Temple
In approximately 1290 DR, construction of the Tyrian Temple on Thorn Island was finished; however, it was never used by anyone other than the clerics who built it. Shortly after completion, a flight of the dragons burned and destroyed the keep in 1306 DR. Brother Ferran Martinez was the high cleric at this time and the ruling priest of the sacred order of Tyr at the Tyrian Temple on Sokol Keep and he and his clerics later died of starvation.

History
In 1340 DR, the keep was reported to be inhabited by monsters.Shal Desanea (Shal Bal of Cormyr at the time), Tarl Desanea, and Ren o' the Blade determined the primary presence at the keep was in fact the undead souls of many clerics of Tyr, tormented to remain at the keep to protect their temple and a valuable artifact—the holy scale. Though the heroes encountered many humanoids, giant frogs, kobolds, goblins, and orcs, during their search of the keep, the hero’s interest, particularly Tarl, were drawn to the undead clerics and warriors of Tyr. They needed to help ease their sorrows, give them peace, and assist them in finding eternal rest, finishing what they started.
