Sep 24, 2005 19:07:22 There is only one: The Tower of High Sorcery in Wayreth. The tower in Palanthas still stands, but it has been abandoned and isn't reoccupied until after the war.

The other three towers were destroyed during/prior to the Cataclysm.

The Tower of High Sorcery in the Wayreth Forest would seem to be the most appropriate for this, given the Age you're adventuring in.

In addition, see both the War of the Lance and Towers of High Sorcery supplements for more information about this particular Tower during this period.

Wayreth is the occupied Tower of High Sorcery in this era. Don't know the specific details but it seems our "beloved ' Kingpriest let the mages go into exile there as it was the most remote.

The TOHS in Palanthas still stands but is abandoned in this paticular era until Raist claims it as his own.

The Towers of Losarcum and Datligoth, however, were completely obliterated.

I got the impression it was rebuilt after the War of Souls, actually. I could be wrong, there. You'd have thought Zebulah would have noticed otherwise.

Yes, the Tower of the Blood Sea was (re-)constructed after the conclusion of the War of Souls -- and is part of Nuitari's decision to be more independent of the other gods of magic and hold his own bastion of power. More on that coming up in Amber & Iron, releasing this February from Wizards of the Coast; written by Margaret Weis and an appendix by some guy.

WOW! Now I cannot wait for the release! I had no idea Nuitari was that ambitious. So, was the tower still "there" but in ruins? Or did he construct it fully?

A&A spoiler:
I mean, the ruins must have been intact if Chemosh felt the presence of his artifacts. Either that, or he lost Mina for nothing.

BTW: Cam, is Zebulah another alias for Zeboim? This may be explained in HOotS, but I put it down when I got Specter of Sorrows the other day. BTW: So far, I like both a lot! The DL work being done lately is fantastic. Keep it up guys and gals!

Nope, Zebulah is a human wizard who fell in love with a sea elf (you know, as you do) and went to live with her in the sunken ruins of Istar, under the Blood Sea. Apoletta, the sea elf in question, makes an appearance in Dragons of Spring Dawning. Zebulah himself was named after famous TSR author and game designer, David "Zeb" Cook, who also lent his name to Zebulon's Guide (a Star Frontiers sourcebook) and a million other things back in the 80's.

Cheers,
Cam

As well as the Zebulon system, one of the centers of high adventure in the setting. It's located at the edge of the Xagyg Nebula. Of course.
