Elturel

A city on the Chionthar, ruled by High Overseer Thavius Kreeg and guarded by the Companion. Originally known to the party as the city where Leosin Erlanthar planned to meet with allies to coordinate efforts against the Cult; as of Session 52 it is the party's home base, with Deez Nuts granted a ruined fort — now Nuts Deep — on the ridge outside its walls.

Overview

Elturel (sometimes misheard as 'Erutel') is a city where Leosin intended to organize the next phase of resistance against the Cult of the Dragon. He offered the party 150 gold pieces each to rendezvous with him there after exploring the dragon egg caves.

The Companion

A giant floating orb of light hangs above Elturel, pushing away darkness, undead and evil. Its presence makes a direct assault on the city effectively impossible — which is precisely why the Cult of the Dragon's threat to Elturel is infiltration, not siege. Any cultist move against the city will come from within.

Baelgrum has speculated that his own level-3 boon might yet come from the Companion itself.

The Hellriders of Elturel

Roughly 500 years ago, devils threatened the region. Rather than wait for the assault, the Hellriders opened a portal and rode into Hell to fight the devils back on their own ground. The gate was closed soon after, and its residual energies have long since dispersed.

Their old fort, the Gray Watch, still stands northeast of the city — see Nuts Deep.

Notable NPCs

  • Leosin Erlanthar – Harper monk coordinating anti-Cult efforts
  • High Overseer Thavius Kreeg – ruler and leader of Elturel. (Name uncertain: garbled in the Session 52 recording as "Fabius Krieg" — treat the spelling as unconfirmed.) His administrator personally showed the party the fort they were granted.

Factions

  • The Order of the Gauntlet maintains its headquarters in Elturel — Xanphina's faction, and the source of her squire.
  • Elturel's light-temples are where Baelgrum is expected to find his own squire.

Nuts Deep

Nuts Deep — formerly the Gray Watch, the old fort of the Hellriders — sits roughly one mile northeast of the city on a rise, astride the main eastern road and within sight of Elturel's walls. It was granted to Deez Nuts in Session 52, and renamed by Keyleth.
