Tethgard was an ancient, ruined castle located in Hullack Forest.[3]
Description[]
The ruin was overgrown and mostly composed of isolated pillars, arches, half-arches, and stairs.[1]
Inhabitants[]
The watching spirit of Lady Duskreene, former ruler of Tethgard, resided there. She was an ancestor of Mirt.[1][2]
History[]
Tethgard predated the realm of Cormyr.[2]
In the 1360s DR, stories circulated in Cormyr of the ruins of legendary Tethgard, hidden in the depths of the Hullack Forest. These became a draw for adventurers operating out of Thunderstone.[4]
In the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR, the ruins of Tethgard were the site of a bloody battle as, after failing to take Elminster, Storm Silverhand, and the Simbul into custody, a group of War Wizards and Purple Dragons unleashed their magics on the trio. Defending the three of them with a spell-shield that rebounded his opponents' spells back at them, Elminster slew or maimed much of the group. The rest retreated.[5]
