Bone Dance

The Bone Dance was a hill located in the Border Forest of north Faerûn. Around the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, it was the site of ghostly apparitions of skeletal monsters that danced around the peak of the hill and attacked any intruders.

Geography
The Bone Dance rose out of the dense trees like a bald dome in the southern third of the Border Forest, north of Dagger Falls and the Desertsmouth Mountains. The hill was almost devoid of greenery and was studded with sharp boulders and megaliths that formed a spiked crown around the top and created obvious trails up the sides. The surface was mostly a scree of gravel and dirt that cascaded down the slopes but eventually gave way to underbrush toward the foot of the hill. At the apex was a roughly circular depression about forty to fifty feet (twelve to fifteen meters) across and twenty feet (six meters) deep.

Features
Approaching the base of the Bone Dance on one side was a cleared path outlined by rows of large boulders, known as "the Throat". It culminated in a wider area with a stone table or altar in its center, made of a flat slab atop three smaller boulders. Another altar&mdash;much larger, more rectangular, sitting on two flat boulders, and darkened by years of repeated bloodstains&mdash;rested at the bottom of the bowl at the top of the hill.
