The Vorpal Tower was a ruined tower in the Forest of Mir in Tethyr.[1]
Location[]
The Vorpal Tower stood 45 miles west of Magis Tor in the Forest of Mir, one mile north of the Marching Mountains and the settlement of Iskashyoll.[2][1]
Structure[]
The ruin was uninhabited and weathered by nature and time. Inside, one could only find lichens and various plants.[1]
History[]
When the tower was first discovered by a ranger from Survale Ford, sometime before the late 14th century DR, the tower was already a ruin. It was distinctly damaged – the tower was diagonally sliced in two, cleanly severing its two upper floors. The cut was what inspired the "Vorpal Tower" name.[1]
By the Year of the Tankard, 1370 DR, the dungeons underneath the Vorpal Tower were used as a lair by the alhoon member of the Twisted Rune named Ralayan the Occultacle. The dungeon hid at east three gates that led to the sinister organization's various rendezvous points.[1]
