Saharelgard

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

At a Glance

A vast labyrinthine castle-city of the Frozen Sea, now falling into disrepair. It was once ruled by Saharel, an arcanist of Netheril. Elven adventurers report that it now features a temple to a hawk-headed god.

Also called Spellgard.

The Xaeyruudh Campaign

In the Xaeyruudh campaign, the “hawk-headed god” referenced is Horus-Re. Specifically, the sect known as the Ancient Might of Re is seeking artifacts of Imaskari origin which are believed to have been brought to Netheril. The sect’s presence here is not known (or authorized) by the “ruling” church hierarchy, so the fanatical Mulhorandi priests and adventurers will attempt to do whatever it takes to prevent word of their identity or activities from escaping the cool dark halls of Saharelgard.

Hlaungadath

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

At a Glance

Once, an enclave of Netheril. At the moment of Karsus’ Folly, this was the northernmost of all the enclaves. Now, it is merely a ruined city in the Frozen Sea region of Anauroch.

Long abandoned by humans, the city is now inhabited by about ninety lamia and more than twenty lamia nobles. They breed slaves for food.

Bedine, d’tarig, laerti, and Zhentarim all give the ruin a wide berth.

A ruined city, once the westernmost reach of Estagund. Thruldar was destroyed by an evil druid and a host of dark trees. The druid was slain by halflings, but rose as a ghost. The ghost and the dark trees were then contained within the ruins of Thruldar. The ghostwise halflings guard the ruin to this day.
