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.
