Citadel of the Mists
This isolated castle lies in the forest's northern fringes and is home to a powerful illusionist known only as the Mist-master, reputed to be extraordinarily powerful. He dwells here with his household retainers who are known to be Iltmul, a monk, once the White Master of Dragons, now Green Master of Dragons; and Cherissa Mintareil, a woman warrior who gained great fame in service of Cormyr. The Mistmaster loves to raise and train pegasi.
The Citadel is rumored to contain great treasure within its vaults, yet few have ever seen the Citadel, let alone passed within. The citadel which is built upon the foundation of ancient elven fortress (which may itself have been built upon the ruins of something even more ancient), is guarded by both magical and monsterous guardians, and when the Mistmaster wishes, it is cloaked in swirling mists.
A tall tower houses the pegasi eyrie. It is reached by an exposed internal staircase through a single large chamber, reputedly guarded by charmed air and fire elementals.
Beneath the castle are the cellars of the ancient elven fortress. Passages known to descend deeper have been blocked... repeatedly.
