Talk:Host Tower of the Arcane

Change from Location to Building
Shouldn't this be using the building template instead of the location template? Chrysillis (talk) 06:52, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can see your point, but since the place is now (as of 4th edition) a haunted ruin complete with dungeon, I'd say it's a Location. The Building template is not really robust enough to handle a succession of owners/inhabitants, whereas Location could be used to expand the article, using the ruler1, ruler2, etc. parameters for the person who built the tower, the head(s) of the Arcane Brotherhood, and finally the collapse into an undead redoubt. Just my two copper. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 16:33, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah you make a good point. I was only thinking of it's older status as a building instead of it's current one. I have some details I'll try adding later on. &mdash;Chrysillis (talk) 19:46, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Name?
I've seen this named as the "Hosttower of the Arcane" in sourcebooks. Which is the correct name? Artemas (talk) 13:53, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Both Volo's Guide to the North and the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide say "Host Tower". If you want, you can make a note of the misspelling with  and add a Notes section in the Appendix. Mention the book and page number where it occurred. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 14:07, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, the name is "Hosttower" on page 8 of The Savage Frontier (sourcebook) and two words on page 23 of The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier in the "Cities and Civilizations" sections. - Darkwynters (talk) 15:47, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Seems like a regular case of TSR/WOTC inconsistency. :) Artemas (talk) 15:53, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * The more recent Neverwinter Campaign Setting uses "Hosttower" (see pages 10, 12, 13, and 146), if that's of any significance. But I've even seen "Host-tower" in a few places. Drives me crazy.... --Coswig (talk) 16:33, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and added a bullet list to the note for further sources with the "Hosttower" spelling. Artemas (talk) 17:05, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
