Skull Crag

Skull Crag is a canonical Mountain / High Peak located in the The Stormhorns & Farsea Marches, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

Skull Crag is a mining community with a population of 1,000 by the late 15th century DR. It is a squalid hamlet that reeks of manure and other fetid odors. The notable aroma is cleared only when mountain winds blow across Skull Crag. The town has passages and buildings cut directly out of the Storm Horns. One of such passages provides an additional connection to the Skull Crag Keep and a direct tunnel from it to the town gates. The keep itself loomed over the town ominously. The settlement is overshadowed by a large whitened marble outcropping polished and chiseled into a human skull, and used as a shrine to Kelemvor.
