History
Elturguard was founded long ago. At one point, the High Observer revealed himself to be a vampire. He ruled out of fear for a long while before a gift from the gods, a second sun called the companion shown down and killed him, and his undead partners. Now, Elturguard is the last bastion holding out from Dreus on the sword coast and the last defense for the rest of Faerun
