History[]
In the Year of the Spur, 1348 DR, War Wizards stationed in Waymoot enchanted salted nuts bowls in the Moon and Stars to spy on a newly formed adventuring company—the Swords of Eveningstar. Semoor Wolftooth of the troupe was bewildered by the nut bowl being taken away only to be returned back moments later, but noblewoman Narantha Crownsilver, used to Red Wizards' machination, informed the group of the magical spying.[2]
