Tower of High Sorcery of Istar

The Tower of High Sorcery of Istar was built in the prosperous city of Istar long before the coming of the Kingpriest and the persecution of the mages. Olives conformed the Guardian Forest of the Tower. Anyone nearing it would lose their memories. These memories were not recoverable.

During the Lost Wars, the devastation from the magical explosions of the Towers of Daltigoth and Losarcum prompted the Kingpriest to allow the mages to leave in peace, with all their belongings, as long as they promised to flee to the tower south of Qualinesti in the magical Forest of Wayreth.

After the Orders surrendered the Tower, Beldinas Pilofiro made it a private storeroom where he put the different elements the Divine Hammer confiscated from their raids.

The Tower of High Sorcery of Istar was almost destroyed in the Cataclysm, along with the city itself.

The Gods of Magic planned to one day restore the tower when Krynn was ready to handle the ancient and dangerous items that lay within, many of which are Holy and enchanted, and many from the Age of Dreams. After the Chaos war, Nuitari the Black (God of the Dark Moon) working with two disciples cast a powerful spell to restore and change the tower to suit Nuitari's needs. The restored tower - renamed "Tower of the Blood Sea" lies at the bottom of the Blood Sea of Istar.

When Mina brought the Tower from the bottom of the Blood Sea, it was decided by the Gods of Magic that the Black Robes would be given ownership of the Istar Tower.
