Legends of Ythryn

Ythryn was under the command of a lich named Iriolarthas. He was obsessed with finding relics and magic from Faerûn’s ancient past.

Ythryn was governed by a group of eight arcanists known as the Wizards of the Ebon Star. Their names and faces are immortalized in the city’s museum.

The city’s creators used giant mimics as construction tools and beasts of burden.

Apprentice mages would graduate from the House of the Arcane and join one of eight arcane towers, each dedicated to a different magic school.

The wizards of Ythryn were entertained by a competitive sport called Chain Lightning.

Every wizard in the enclave was obliged to carve their own wand from the Nether Oak at the heart of the arboretum.

Ythryn was held aloft by the magic of an arcane sphere known as a mythallar. The mythallar also had the power to recharge magic items and control the weather.

Ythryn’s mages could extend their lives indefinitely by preserving their brains inside jars.

Wonders from across the world of Toril were sold at the enclave’s Bazaar of the Bizarre.

The city’s elite wore robes of silk that displayed shifting, illusory patterns.

Many of the city’s residents owned strange chimeric pets, with winged hares and venomous baboons being particularly popular.

The members of Ythryn’s orchestra were known across the world of Toril as masters of their art.

By law, every mage was taught the prestidigitation cantrip and was obliged to use it to keep the city clean.

The wizards used humanlike constructs called magen as guards, workers, and valets. These constructs were created using a powerful spell.

The wizards imbued certain spells with their own life force, turning them into living entities.

The wizards of Ythryn were on a mission to find relics and ruins of Ostoria, a 40,000-year-old empire of spellcasting giants.

In times of trouble, the wizards raised a force field around the enclave’s central spire that only they could pass through.

An abracadabrus is a magic box that can create food and drink, among other things.

Meditation in the Hall of Weightless Wonder was an invaluable pursuit for the city’s elite.

An ancient obelisk stands in the shadow of the Spire of Iriolarthas. Using this obelisk and a staff of power, one can turn back time.
