History

In the Age before Ages, the Battle of Pesh was fought in the shadow of White Plume Mountain.

After that distant cataclysm, the earliest known inhabitant of White Plume Mountain was the druid Aegwareth. Circa -800 CY, Aegwareth was slain by the wizard Keraptis, who took over the mountain with his gnomish servitors. Aegwareth now exists as a shade.
