Tosti’s Tower The hamlet of Tosti’s Tower lies at the northern end of the Barony of Starnaer, midway between the Sword Hills and the Misty Forest, along the banks of Shimmerstar Stream, which winds north a mile or so to a confluence with the River Delimibyr. Tosti’s Tower is one of several hamlets in the Barony of Shimmerstar whose inhabitants make their living through hunting and logging. Tosti’s Tower is the farthest upstream location from which one can easily float logs down the Shimmerstar Stream to the River Delimbiyr and from there down to Daggerford, making it a good location for woodsmen to bring felled tree trunks. Local law is enforced by the baron's appointed headsman, Starknight Agrik Hartmoor (NG male Illuskan human ranger 2). Tosti’s Tower is notable for a simple stone tower built here in the Year of the Ominous Oracle (694 DR) by King Davyd, one of the few such towers to survive, to guard the Kingdom of Man against goblinkin raids from the High Moor. Although hardly in good repair, the three-story tower is still a suitable defensive redoubt into which the local populace can withdraw when raiders come down through the Misty Forest. The tower (and the hamlet) gets it name from a notorious bandit lord who occupied it a century ago. The tower cellar connects to a series of limestone caverns that lie beneath Shimmerstar Vale that are said to run beneath the Misty Forest to the east. There are recurring tales that the real reason the tower was constructed was to guard against some recurring threat from below emanating from some ancient crypt in the depths, but the truth of the matter is long since forgotten.
