Spear Tor

Spear Tor is a 400-foot high, isolated hill of clearly artificial design. The hill is elliptical in shape, with seven circles of white stones arrayed around its margins at distances of exactly 50-foot intervals. It lies within a great depression within the hill range. To the east, .beyond the depression, a hill ridge rises sharply and then falls away equally sharply to the edge of the hills.

Spear Tor is said by those rare sages with knowledge of such matters to be a great burial-ground of Flan chieftains. There is but one magically disguised and warded entry point to the Tor, which contains seven great mazes marked by the rings outside. At the center of each maze stands the only entry point to the next maze level, and also the catafalque of a Flan chieftain and his bodyguards. Buried with each chieftain is a magical spear of unique and unknown type. Below the final maze is a subterranean complex of sunken, water-filled mazes and passages which contain still greater magical relics of a long-destroyed Flan or perhaps even pre-Flan empire.

The Urzun are extremely superstitious about Spear Tor and will not approach it, shunning the valley it stands within. They say that hordes of undead plan warriors will attack any who despoil the tombs within the Tor. Certainly Iuz's own priests have seen swordwraiths here and believe that soul beckoners lie within the Tor. Those undead and others in the Tor cannot be turned or commanded, save by priests of old Flan powers. For this reason, and because Iuz is uncertain whether the magical treasures within the Tor are a potential blessing or a bane, he has not ordered the Tor to be breached again after a disastrous initial attempt to do so.
