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.
