The Twin Towers of the Eternal Eclipse were a pair of towers hidden high in the Small Teeth mountains in the Lands of Intrigue, one on each side of the Trade Way.[1] Formerly temples to Bane, they were seized and rededicated as temples to Cyric in the mid-to-late 14th century DR.[3]
Location[]
The towers were about 5 miles (8 kilometers) apart, deep in the highest peaks of the Small Teeth Mountains between Amn and Muranndin. The towers were almost completely obscured from view, even from above.[1]
Structure[]
Each tower was five stories tall and they were connected by a twisting underground passage.[1]
Inhabitants[]
As of 1370 DR, Blackwill Haarken Akhmelere was in charge of the church of Cyric congregation.[2]
History[]
Originally temples dedicated to Bane, Cyricists conquered the towers in the Year of the Helm, 1362 DR, and rededicated them to the worship of Cyric.[3]
In the Year of Rogue Dragons, 1373 DR, the Sojourner destroyed the western tower to get at the magical granite it was made out of.[4] He moved it to atop the Wayrock in the Sea of Fallen Stars for his great ritual.[5] After his defeat, this tower was later made a temple to Mask by the assassin and priest Drasek Riven.[6]
During the Rage of Dragons that same year, Iryklathagra badly damaged the eastern tower[7] but on Uktar 13 of the same year, Akhmelere used the Golden Lamp of Samesaj to rebuild the western tower and repair the eastern tower.[8]
On Flamerule 12 of the Year of Lightning Storms, 1374 DR, after a fifty-day siege, the Army of Three Stars successfully conquered the western tower, handing it over to Cyricist members of the crusade.[9]
