Host Tower of the Arcane

Host Tower of the Arcane

The Host Tower of the Arcane is the seat of the Arcane Brotherhood in Luskan, a roughly 300-foot tower of dark stone rising from an island in the River Mirar. Recently rebuilt, it is where Deez Nuts gathered the intelligence that launched their search for Maccath the Crimson.

Overview

The Host Tower had been ruined for nearly a century after a dragon attack destroyed it (the event that gave Luskan's Dragon Beach its name). In the aftermath a power-mad wizard seized the ruin and raised undead there; only recently did the Arcane Brotherhood return, drive out the undead, and rebuild the tower to reclaim it. Its interior is hung with tapestries depicting magical discoveries rather than battles.

Role in Campaign

In the first sitting of Session 47 (2026-02-01), the party crossed to the Host Tower and met the mage Zelene, who detailed Maccath the Crimson's disappearance into the Sea of Moving Ice and the Brotherhood's two lost search parties. The Brotherhood sold the party cold-weather magic "at cost" and arranged a buy-back for their return.

Notable NPCs

• Zelene – Brotherhood mage who briefed the party
