Demonclaw is a tiny, rocky island in Relmor Bay which houses the tower of a wizard.
Description
A rocky island lies six miles south of the port city of Wragby. "The island is so named because it resembles the half-shattered claw of some horrible beast."[1]
"Rising up from the sea is a rocky crag over 200 feet tall. The formation juts out of the water like the petrified claw of some great, sunken beast. Nestled between the half-shattered fingers of this great claw is a pale stone tower, the base of which is brightly illuminated. A little less than halfway up the tower is an arched bridge connecting the structure to a small landing platform carved out of the rock. It is clear that the tower was never meant to be reached from the water, as there are no places to moor a boat."[1]
"The tower itself is a single pale spire nestled in the “palm” of the clawshaped island. At night, magical lights illuminate the tower, creating a beacon that can be seen by ships from miles away."[1]
History
Geography
"On the southern fringe of the Kingdom of Nyrond, tucked among the dark cliffs that confine Relmor Bay. stands the small coastal city of Wragby. [...] Six miles south of Wragby, jutting up from the bay like the half-shattered claw of some horrible demon from the depths, is the stony crag that sailors have dubbed the Demonclaw. Nestled in the palm of this ominous rock formation is a single pale spire: the tower of the wizard Fhelzor Hornstaff."[2]
People
- Fhelzor Hornstaff (LN male human Wizard 8)—the main occupant of the tower.
- "Fhelzor is a recluse. He's a solemn, middle-aged man with unkempt red hair. His longevity has spawned rumors that he possesses some elven blood. More likely he has used potions or other magic to prolong his lifespan."[1]
- Fhelzor has no known cohorts. Most people leave him alone, and he seldom ventures far from his tower.[1]
While "Demonclaw" (the adventure in Dungeon #121) does not list any specific magical or mortal servants in the tower(other than two homunculi), it does not disclude them either.
Publishing history
Demonclaw only appeared once, in the adventure of the same name, in Dungeon magazine #121 (2001), by Peter R. Hopkins.
