The Tower of Skulls was an abbey and the major center of worship for the church of Kelemvor.[1]
Location[]
The abbey was located in Ormath, a small city on the south-eastern edge of the Shining Plains.[1][2]
Structure[]
The abbey was a ziggurat, with the exterior walls covered in carvings of human skulls.[1]
Interior[]
The interior of the abbey comprised rooms connected by spiraling corridors.[1]
Beneath the abbey, massive cellars extended deep into the earth. The cellars connected to an underground river and several caverns. Within the caverns, the clerics grew a type of edible fungi.[1]
Activities[]
The clerics, using the edible fungi grown deep under the abbey, made a potent wine that was amber in color. They also created perfumes, unguents, and potions from the fungi, which were sold to outsiders.[1]
Defenses[]
The abbey was defended by the battle-hardened clerics, who used magical items and weapons in defense of the abbey.[1]
Inhabitants[]
In the Year of the Gauntlet, 1369 DR, the abbey and its clergy were commanded by the High Lord Doom Bezurgathan Indraeyan.[1]
Guardian creatures, resembling will-o'-wisps, roamed the corridors of the abbey.[1]
