Celestial Stair

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

An invisible staircase that leads upward from Faerûn to Cynosure. The stair is usable by any with “great will and Power” but apparently not without risk.

A way out of Faerûn for gods too cruel to care what destruction they cause in doing so.

Known Celestial Stairs include

  • Castle Kilgrave: during the Time of Troubles, this stair was the site of Mystra‘s destruction by Helm. The blastwave emanating from the death of a Power flattened the remains of the castle.
  • Shadowdale: during the Time of Troubles this Stair was destroyed when Mystra and Elminster destroyed an avatar of Bane. Interestingly, the rest of dale was left unscathed by the destruction of the god.
  • Teyla Shan: an unconfirmed legend tells of The Road to the Gods which can be found at the summit of the highest peak of the Godswatch Mountains. This staircase, if it exists, may still be intact.
  • Waterdeep: this Stair, located on Mount Waterdeep, was used to return the Tablets of Fate to Ao. It “vanished” when Ao caused the avatars to leave Faerûn.

Khelben Arunsun


At a Glance

Khelben Arunsun is a Chosen of Mystra, consort of Laeral, a senior Harper, one of the masked Lords of Waterdeep, and a prominent wizard of the Sword Coast North. He is known to many simply as the Blackstaff.

Though he never admits it, he is widely surmised by Waterdhavians to be one of the Lords of the city. He resides in Blackstaff Tower.

He is noted for rescuing Laeral from the Crown of Horns, and later assisting her and Alduth in destroying the demon lord Arlgolcheir.

He has tutored several prominent mages including Malchor Harpell, Nain Keenwhistler, and Savengriff, and could call on their assistance if necessary. He also has friends, including Elminster. Other allies include the Knights of Myth Drannor, the Seven Sisters, and an unknown number of individuals and adventuring bands who owe him a favor.

As the Spellplague approaches, Khelben splits from the Harpers. His followers are subsequently known as the Moonstars.
