The Barrow of the Queen Abiding was a Narfelli vault within the Rawlinswood of the Great Dale holding the Queen Abiding, a demon bound by the ancient Nar.[2] It was disturbed by Fallon in 1373 DR.[3]
Location[]
Per the Rotting Man, the Barrow of the Queen Abiding was connected to the Arches of Xenosi and to the rest of the catacombs around Dun-Tharos.[1]
Structure[]
Close to the Arches of Xenosi, a single flight of stairs was hidden beneath a weedy mound.[4] These led down to a landing; the landing led through a straight tunnel into a larger chamber with a cylindrical block of almost-black ice in the middle. This was the prison of the Queen Abiding. This chamber had its walls and ceiling covered in brittle, dark ice veins, while the floor was covered in ice just rough enough to gain purchase.[5]
Atmosphere[]
The landing, tunnel, and the chamber were all unnaturally cold, likely due to the power of the Queen Abiding; the walls were themselves covered in eldritch frost and ice.[5]
History[]
In the Year of Rogue Dragons, 1373 DR, both the group of Fallon and Araluen,[3] and the party pursuing them, consisting of Marrec, Elowen, Gunggari Ulmarra, and Ususi Manaallin, crossed through the Barrow of the Queen Abiding. Though she took notice of Fallon and Araluen, her forces only stirred to action in response to the second party.[6]
