AT A GLANCE: Beregost is a small town
of about 40 central buildings, with several
larger estates further from the
town itself. The town is dominated by a
large temple and its attendant buildings.
To the east on the low rise overlooking
the town is the shell of a ruined
castle.

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The small town
of Beregost is 1st and foremost a trading 
center, a jumping-off point for expeditions 
into the Southern Kingdoms of 
Amn, Tethyr, and Calimshan.  It is also 
the home of several notable individuals. 

One of the foremost smiths in the 
Sword Coast AREA, Taerom "Thunderhammer" 
Fuiruim, has his estate 
and shop here.  Beregost is also the 
abode of THE WIZARD Thalantyr, a wizard 
who specializes in magick of the 
Conjuration/Summoning type.  Finally, 
Beregost is the home of a large temple 
to Lathander, God of the Morning.  The 
High Priest of this temple is one Keldath 
Ormlyr, once a merchant of note 
whose ships plied their TRADE up and 
down the Sword Coast. 

On a hill to the east of Beregost lay the 
burned ruins of a school of wizardry, 
founded some 300 years ago 
by the Mage Ulcaster, and destroyed 
80 years later by Calishite Mages, 
who had feared the school's collective 
power had come to rival their own.  
Interestingly enough, the Ulcasterian 
school was also a school of Conjurers 
and Summoners.
