No New Posts Palanthas

After the destruction of Istar, the Jewel of Ansalon quickly became the most important city of Ansalon, although never matching the size nor the power of Ergoth or Istar.

First founded by the Tarsian survivors of a shipwreck around 2,000 PC near a beach after making a pact with pirates, the city of Bright Horizon (as it was first known) developed around the Tower of High Sorcery of Palanthas.

The city itself consists of two different sections: The original Old City, which has the shape of a wheel where the palace is situated at the center and where the Tower of High Sorcery was originally. New City, which consists of small houses constructed after the edification of the Old City.

No New Posts Vingaard Keep

The original capital of Solamnia, Vingaard Keep is a central trading center. Close to the geographic center of the Solamnic plains and having easy access to the Vingaard river, the keep (and city by the same name) attracts merchants from Palanthas, Kalaman, Solanthus, and Caergoth.
The strongest garrison of Knights of Solamnia in Ansalon is found here.

No New Posts High Clerist's Tower

The High Clerist's Tower is a massive fortress for the Knights of Solamnia. It was designed to trap dragons and is used so during the War of the Lance. It guards the pass to Palanthas through the mountains. Sturm Brightblade sacrificed himself here during the War of the Lance. The Tower was captured by Dark Knights during the Chaos War, and was retaken. It briefly fell into the hands of invaders again but was retaken by the armies of Jaymes Markham.

No New Posts Nightlund

A region of northeastern Solamnia which was home to Lord Soth for over 300 years. After Lord Soth's departure, Dalamar the Dark moved the Tower of High Sorcery at Palanthas to Nightlund to protect it from the One God. He grew a large forest around the Tower to hide it.

Until the War of Souls, undeads under Lord Soth's influence protected the land, hunting and ambushing living beings.

No New Posts Tower of High Sorcery of Nightlund

Was situated near the centre of Palanthas, in front of what would later become the Temple of Paladine, the Tower of High Sorcery of Palanthas was the most beautiful building in the city, a tower made of pure white marble surrounded by fences of gold.

However, at the end of the Lost Wars, and while the Master of the Tower was surrendering it to the local authorities, a black wizard sacrificied himself to curse it. The only being allowed to enter it was the Master of Past and Present, Fistandantilus first, and Raistlin Majere in the alternative timeline.

The Guardian Forest is named the Shoikan Grove, and it is able to cast terrible fear in those who come on sight of it. Not even kenders are able to near it, and only with an invitation from the Master of the Tower, using extremely powerful magic, or travelling through air above the Forest a mortal is able to near it.

After being cursed, powerful undead creatures appeared in the Shoikan Grove. These creatures are able to drain the life energy from intruders, turning them at the same time into undead guardians.

Very few students were ever accepted into the cursed Tower. Both Raistlin Majere and his successor, Dalamar, took very few apprentices. After the Chaos War, Dalamar expelled the apprentices and only accepted Jenna, his lover and a powerful red mage, near it.

At the beginning of the Fifth Age, Dalamar, after being told by Palin Majere that Khellendros the Dragon Overlord was going to assault the Tower to obtain rare magical items, decided to transport it to Nightlund in secret.

With the return of the gods, the Tower of Wayreth was under the control of the Red Robes, while the recently resurrected Tower of Istar was occupied by the Black Robes. A Conclave was convened and it was decided that the White Robes would be given control over the new Nightlund tower. The White Robes moved into the tower and removed the curse on Nightlund, restoring the area to its former glory.
