Magepoint

This small, sleepy, idyllic village appears, at first glance, to be an archetypal farming and fishing community. Well-tended fields and meadows surround the village proper, while many fishing boats bob at anchor along the village’s dock. A coastal pathway links Magepoint with Elmshire in the west and Goldplain in the Duchy of Urnst in the east. Another pathway – really little more than an earthen track – links Magepoint with Diamond Lake.
Compared to some others, the village of Magepoint would seem overwhelmingly ordinary. The village is charming, a cluster of houses, stables and huts set among gardens and pastures. A temple-library stands as the largest building in the village. The Inn of the All-Seeing Eye greets vistors, while nearby, the sounds of Steelheart Smithy fills the air. From the village, the terrain climbs toward the Cairn Hills a couple of miles away, blue-green during the humid days. Manors and farms dot the rolling grasslands.
Then one looks out to the Nyr Dyv. This area of the Lake of Unknown Depths is called Midbay. Half a mile into the dark blue waters of the Nyr Dyv is a low black rock some 130 feet across, crowned with a pale-blue structure. At the heart of the castle is a single tower capped with a vast faceted dome that glitters like a blue jewel. Birds wheel around the fortress. They might be ospreys, diving for fish in the lake.
A narrow causeway of black stone stretches from a pretty shore-side village to the castle. The water on either side shows occasional eddies and whirlpools, as if great water creatures neared the surface before sinking again. Sometimes a glistening back or tail heaves clear of the water. On occasion the lake churns with some underwater battle between these titans.
This is the home of Tenser the Archmage.
