Wrettis

A relic of the Age of Arcanum, Wrettis is the ruined tower of a powerful mage, one who was driven mad by the seductive whispers of beings from the beyond. What few legends survive of the mage of Wrettis say he was known as Clemain Astural, the Sight Shephard, and that he was a powerful arcanist who peered into a realm beyond the planes in search of power to end the war that ravaged his world. He found it, and thought it would serve him.

He was wrong. Astural’s sanity crumbled, but his power only grew, fueled by an entity he called the Sightless One. As devastation crept across southeastern Tal'Dorei , heroes of the land rode to Wrettis to end Astural’s chaotic reign, destroy his tower, and bury his corpse in the rubble. Wrettis is now a moss-coated ruin, but some chambers within and below the tower still hold secrets of the mad mage, as well as some of his creations.

The Astural Scrolls

Clemain Astural covered thousands of pages of parchment with his writings, ranging from alchemical formulas to powerful spells to esoteric star charts...but his later notes descend into paranoid, half-crazed ramblings. One of the heroes that killed Astural, a wizard named Atz Yuminor, took as many of the scrolls as he could find and brought them back to his house in the Dividing Plains. Yuminor’s bloodline continues in Estella Ladimar, headmistress of the Westhall Academy in Westruun, and many of the Astural Scrolls are kept secretly by the Scions of Yuminor in the academy’s observatory.
