Uthtower

Uthtower is the ancestral seat of the Royal House of Myrmoran, King Uth. Built atop a rocky pinnacle that rises some then feet above the waterline, the Uthtower is a roughly cylindrical tower with an extended first level. The broken spire still stands nearly 60 feet tall at its highest point, but its third floor is open to the sky.

Myrkul's Mausoleum

Underneath the Uthtower lies King Uth's burial chamber, it has since been taken over by Myrkulytes and used as their headquarters in the Mere of Dead Men.

Rocky Pinnacle
The cobblestone path that leads up the steep incline of the rocky pinnacle has been swept free of debris, but the slick mossy coating makes for a treacherous ascent.

Creatures 2 Green Slimes ambush the PCs at the top of the hill.

Gatehouse
The only entrance to the gatehouse is a pair of steel-reinforced duskwood doors, swollen shut. The doors are locked by a spell, only uttering the proper word will allow entrance, in addition a Glyph of Warding is activated by anyone who attempts to open the door who does not worship Myrkul or wear of the Rings of Myrkul.

Inside the gatehouse there is a over three feet deep of stagnant water.

Throne Room
King Uth's throne room has been corrupt the Myrkulytes, the once great thrown has been piles in bones and blueish skulls paint the once exquisite marble floor. Remnants of rich tapestries hang from the walls, no tattered in blood. There is a dais in the middle of the room which once held the Myrmoran Crown.

Council Chamber
A great table lies crumbled on the ground here, though a very large and surprisingly well in tact map of ancient Faerun lies amongst the debris.

Kitchen
The kitchen appears to still be in use and likely the most well preserved (and least foul-smelling room in the tower.

Damage caused to the Uthtower has left the library open to the sky. A large tome of myrkul is laid out carefully on a desk where a Myrkulyte priest reads intently.

Crypt of the First Royals
''Stone steps climb to a vaulted, octogonal chamber thirty feet high at its domed peak. The room is dark, and the marbled floor is littered with bones, bits of stone and puddles of water or perhaps blood. Arched passages, each just as high lead north, west and east into darkness. As you reach the top of the stairs, you hear the chant of crazed priests as a ghastly apparition appears in the middle of the room and presents its stag-like horns made of bone. The terrible Myrkulyte presents its bony, decaying frame — a lich no doubt. Its half-flesh skull greets you with spectral facial hair and flaring purple eyes.''

This newly dug up room is still under construction, being turned into a temple worthy of Myrkul. The Crown of Horns can be seen levitating overNhyris D'Hothek knelt a large carpet featuring the unholy symbol of Myrkul.

DM Notes Before the PCs have a chance to interject, a cloaked figure will snatch the crown of horns, breaking the trance and leaving Nhyris terribly weak. The unknown figure will cast a portal and disappear with the crown, a PC may catch a glimpse of the symbol of the Iron Ring Consortium.

Nhyris D'Hothek's chambers are riddled with ancient books and scrolls that once belonged to peoples buried here. The room contains a bone-carved desk and a simple bed.
