The Wailing Halls

This fortified castle keep is the home of the human mage Belszane, originally of Almor, who is said to have slain her apprentices and fellow adventurers (known to include at least two very powerful fighters) when her mind was possessed by a fiend she had conjured to interrogate about events in Rauxes. Belszane is said now to wander her halls, disheveled and floridly insane, having animated the remains of her former associates into powerful forms (treat at least one member of the entourage as a death knight). She is also said to have become direly evil after her mind was warped by the gloating fiend, and it is her terrible mad screams that give this keep its forbidding and accurate name.

Certainly, Belszane’s keep and dungeons will have treasure nad magic aplenty, but in addition to herself and her undead, there will be extra hazards-Belszane is known to have had a large collection of charmed monsters, including neo- otyughs and deadly puddings, a trained wyvern she used as a mount, rust monsters used for defense, and lesser golems and necrophidii. Little wonder that most folk give this place a very wide berth indeed.
