Abbey of the Sword

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

At a Glance

A temple of Tempus, built in the ruins of a castle in Battledale where Tempus appeared during the Time of Troubles. The cellars of the castle, and the underdark tunnels nearby, feature many still-operational portals. The abbey is overrun by Auzkovyn drow in 1371 DR, who arrive through one of those portals and decimate the staff of the abbey. Now, the followers of Tempus are stretched even more thinly.

Nashkel

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

At a Glance

A settlement, technically the northernmost reach of Amn but semi-autonomous in practice. The population of the town is about 3,000 (98% human, 2% halfling, with a few shield dwarves), with another 1,500 in outlying hamlets and farms.

Nashkel is located on the Trade Way, just north of the Cloud Peaks. The section of this road between Nashkel and Crimmor is locally referred to as the Bitten Road since it runs between the Fangs; the two sheer stone needles that mark the southern end of Fang Pass through the Cloud Peaks. The Uldoon Trail goes northeast, linking Nashkel with Berdusk.

The city is sometimes referred to as the Cold City, the Windy City, or the Sloping City. The people of Nashkel are called Nashkars.
