Castle Crag

Castle Crag was built to defend Cormyr's northern border against dangers from the Stonelands. Five hundred Purple Dragons and five War Wizards are garrisoned at the castle year round. Unlike High Horn, this castle is inhospitable to adventurers and those who arrive are sent on their way as quickly as possible. For many years, Castle Crag employed a psionicist to ensure that calls for help could reach Arabel's garrison immediately. While this practice was long discontinued, there have been rumors that the current commander is seeking to hire a psioni­cist to revive the practice.


Situated in the north-central portion of Cormyr, Castle Crag is a defensive outpost built to keep intruders from the Stonelands on the far side of Gnoll Pass and outside Cormyr proper. Approximately 500 members of the Purple Dragons and a detachment of War Wizards are stationed here, led by Bren Tallsword (LN hm F10). He is known as a commander who favors regular drills and who is completely comfortable in enforcing the standing order to hold at all costs. If Castle Crag is attacked, Tallsword is confident that forces from Arabel would be able to reinforce his position or be able to rout any invasion force that managed to get past the out­post. To ensure that messages for help reach Arabel, Tallsword keeps a psionicist on staff who can establish contact with a member of Arabel's gar­rison of Purple Dragons. If necessary, the psioni­cist can mentally transmit the request for reinforcements to Arabel. Suzail is studying this system, and if it is successful enough, the crown may decide to hire psionicists to transmit mes­sages from one commander to another in all parts of the realm. However, some in Suzail oppose this system for fear that the formal introduction of psionics would jeopardize the status quo of the Cormyte Army by introducing a "weapon" that would escalate matters in the Stonelands and with Zhentil. They maintain that defending their commanders from psionic attack would become too costly and would hamper their efforts to com­mand. Also there is the eternal question of loy­alty of the psionicists, for if one should betray Cormyr, he could cripple Cormyr's forces.
