Haunted Halls of Eveningstar



Dug out of the rock of the western wall of Starwater Gorge just north of the farming village of Eveningstar in northern Cormyr is a former bandit hold. Dwarven stonemasons built this subterranean stronghold of orderly walls and chambers for the human bandit Rivior. After his death, various monsters used the halls as their lair.

Mages settled in it and used magic to compel some monsters to be their door guards -- only to be slain by other monsters or other wizards.

The hauntings caused by many violent deaths over the years have given the halls their current appellation.

Through the years it's been used as a testing ground for adventurers, justice-by-peril for criminals, way fortress of the Mages Regal, and even as a contraband storage by Zhentarim agents.

Settlement of the Mages Regal
The Haunted Halls of Eveningstar was for a time a way fortress of the Mages Regal. It is rumored that these mages created a Torilwide network of forgotten and hidden portals, or had simply added traps and controls to portals they found, the work of even older and more mysterious hands.
