The Fallen Tower was one of the most popular taverns in Neverwinter.[1]
Description
Its claim to fame and sole point of interest were the magical images created by the incident that gave the place its name. The stones of the fallen tower (mostly the upper section) have been rebuilt into a single story.[1] Late every night, patrons can see the mage images fall and magic did not seem to be involved in any way.[3]
In 1385 DR, new images joined the old ones, as many people died in the tavern during the Spellplague.[2]
History
The tower was once the home of a local wizard, Llomnauvel "Firehands" Oloadhin. His tower was invaded by members of the Arcane Brotherhood around 1337 DR, and while he was not able to defeat them all, his final spell destroyed the tower. The spell left behind a side effect: clear and solid-seeming phantom images of the mages as they were hurled down from the tower.[3]
The Tower later became a popular tavern.[3]
During the Spellplague of 1385 DR, many patrons died in the Fallen Tower during the cataclysm. The Fallen Tower was eventually abandoned and fell into disrepair.[2]
After the Ruining of 1451 DR, when a tribe of orcs from Many-Arrows invaded the River District, they discovered the Fallen Tower and reopened the tavern, with one of them, the orc Vagdru One-Ear, taking the role of owner and bartender.[2]
The place became a neutral zone for the orcs, Dagult Neverember's forces, and other factions while the orcs remained in Neverwinter.[2]
