Mount Andrus was a semi-active volcano, sacred to the Church of Talos, located in the Mountains of the Alaoreum in Turmish.[3]
Description[]
Mount Andrus was known to erupt in steam and copious amounts of volcanic ash.[4] The most notable feature of the arcane magic was a time gate, hidden inside Mount Andrus. The gate remained there, despite centuries of volcanic activities. The time gate was protected from the heat of molten rock by Mystryl's magic, later maintained by Mystra.[2]
History[]
Mount Andrus erupted in the winter of the Year of the Oaken Glade, 517 DR, harming the orcish Candlekairn clan by destroying their home and killing the chieftain. Survivors claimed that the disaster buried the orc king's treasures plundered in the War of 512 under many layers of volcanic ash.[5][6][1]
Rumors & Legends[]
It was believed that the worshipers of the evil deity Talos were allied with a malicious creature, or possibly, a community, that dwelt in the heart of the volcano.[3][4]
