AT A GLANCE: South of the Wood of
Sharp Teeth a plug of hard rock juts
from the plains. Atop this pinnacle is a
single, massive tower. It is in good
repair, but seems unoccupied.

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: This local landmark
is the isolated keep of a dwarven
hero of old.  Durlag "Trollkiller," son of
Bolhur, massed treasure in lejendary
proportions and stored it here and in an
few other choice locations.  This treasure
was protected by all manner of
magical wards and mechanical traps,
the latter of his own devising.

The tower itself, built entirely of volcanic
stone and in fair condition given
the amount of time and neglect
involved, lies atop a volcanic plug that
dominates the surrounding lands.
Durlag, aided by hired dwarves, is said
to have hollowed out the mountain for
the rock that made up his tower, and
used the space created to hide further
treasure.  Durlag is Now long dead, and
many have come seeking his treasure
over the decades, with varying degrees
of success.  Within the last twoscore of
years, a new power of fell majesty has
taken up residence within the remains
of the tower, and uses the defenses created
by Durlag to keep both itself and
the treasure safe.
