Castle Krag

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


At a Glance

A fortress near Shadowdale.

Castle Krag, like the Twisted Tower, was built long ago by drow.

It was claimed more recently by Jyordhan, the Zhentarim puppet who briefly ruled Shadowdale. After his death the tower fell again into disrepair, but someone or something keeps repairing the catapults and occasionally fires a missile into the outlying farms of the dale. So far, nobody has been overly eager to enter the ruin and put a decisive stop to it.

Gharri also briefly claimed the tower, before meeting his doom, but his control was short-lived.

Castle Kilgrave is found in northern Cormyr, in the foothills of the Storm Horn Mountains at the south end of Gnoll Pass. It’s on the west side of the pass, opposite Castle Crag, near the intersection of the Moonsea Ride and the Dragon Trail.

Arabel

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


At a Glance

Arabel is a fortified city of about 17,000 in northern Cormyr. Once the eastern border of Cormyr, it’s still the kingdom’s primary defense against orc and Zhentilar incursions from the Stonelands.

Arabel was recently the capital of the nameless realm established by Gondegal. The rebel king is missing but not necessarily presumed dead.

Defenders of the city slew a dragon during the Flight of Dragons in 1356 DR.

Citizens of Arabel are referred to as Arabellan.
