the school of Ulcaster (or ruins thereof) is located in the Sword Coast, near Baldur's Gate. Is there any details on this anywhere?

Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast contains most of the information on Ulcaster and his school.

I recall that Eric Boyd expanded somewhat on this information (in a Realmslore-y way, not stats) in a DRAGON article that never got accepted. It basically tied in the school of Ulcaster with the School of Wonder in Amn, Halaster and a few other FR tidbits.

CoR mentions that Aumvor the Undying had a hand in the Ulcaster's School of Conjuration.

This is my point.. there have been tasty little morsels of realmslore about Ulcaster here & there, involving people like Halaster, the Q ysars of the Shoon Imperium, Aumvor, etc...

Ulcatser is officially on my list of super intriguing locations- alog with Ascore and the Direwood.

And go figure- Volo's guide to the sword coast isn't a free download. In a nutshell, what did it have to say (if you have the time Ol' Sagey...)

I think I snuck some of it into the demonshield write-up in Dragons of Faerun.

More in GHotR.

Yes you did... and that good sir, was the spark that peeked my interest. I instantly recalled playing Baldur's Gate, and even then trying to lern more about Ulcaster.

P.S. GHotR??? fill me in...

Candlekeep's experiencing some difficulties at the moment.

And yes, the GHotR is scheduled for a November release.
