Jester_of_Death 07-13-07, 09:28 PM	Hi, I was reading some of my old 2nd edition books, and I was wondering where Presper is. There is the Mistkeep located there, and I was thinking of DM'ing an adventure hook based on a "Cult to resurrect Leira" sort of thing, and her largest "Temple" is there. When I scour my 3rd edition books, I cannot even find where the city is located. Am I missing something? Help!!

He sacrificed himself and several others (Agnazzar, Grimwald) at his last mission. Supposedly they remain somewhere on the planes.

It is mostly abandoned now and desert like. There is a portal leading from Prespur (if you know the activation key) that can take you further south to the island of Tharsult which is located in the Shining Sea. If you don’t know the key I believe it takes you somewhere to the north, dropping you off somewhere near the Spine of the World / Icewind Dale. The island was named after a Netherese Mage who claimed it after the fall of Netheril. He built a keep there, which is now in ruins, and subsequently disappeared without much trace. EDIT: Here is all the information you need: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/pg20020227a

Jester_of_Death 07-13-07, 11:15 PM	Thanks for the replies! I was reading in the 2E Faiths and Avatars book under Leira. Under the Major Centers of Worship subsection, they mention the largest temple is the Mistkeep in Presper, run by some gnome named Duldinbold Alarkyn. I am thinking that the 2E happened quite some time ago, so the link to the Island gate would be where it was/is in present. I appreciate the help.

They have tasked him with re-forming the Covenant and he is looking to recruit mages accordingly.

Old Sage 07-15-07, 01:57 AM	Good! :cool: So I'm hoping this means we're set to learn a little more about Savengriff's current efforts?
