Lords Who Sleep

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


At a Glance

One of the prophecies of Alaundo says that armies of undead and fiends will one day destroy Cormyr, unless it is defended by those who should have been dead.

The Lords Who Sleep are Cormyr’s response to this prophecy. They are over thirty fighters, preserved in stasis, concealed in a cave bristling with traps and protected by a long succession of trusted guardians (currently Emperel). Each is equipped with wings of flying; they also have magical armor and weapons, and many potions and other enchanted items.

The royal court of Cormyr refers to these hidden warriors as the Sleeping Sword, to mislead any who may be listening and wish harm on the kingdom.

Haunted Halls

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


At a Glance

A dungeon near Eveningstar.


Overview

Carved by dwarves from the western face of Starwater Gorge north of Eveningstar, this was once the lair of the human bandit Rivior. After his death the hold was claimed by a string of monsters and mages, whose violent deaths and subsequent hauntings have resulted in the dungeon’s current name. The hold was cleared out during the reign of King Azoun III (circa 1261-1275 DR), and has been officially recorded as unoccupied since then.

Of course the locals know better. Zhentarim and an infestation of kobolds have been mentioned in recent rumors.
