Worrecstay

Overview
Worrecstay is generally considered a wizards' retreat, tucked away in the Sevrend Mountains, just south of New Saldastron in the Kingdom of Saldes. Currently, the site is home to three powerful wizards: Alvec Autumnhelm, Dund Standhope, and Lady Gulga. Those who are brave or wealthy enough to make the journey travel there to glean deep arcane secrets and learn the craft of wizardry—that is, if one of the resident wizards decides to take them on.

As a matter of tradition, whoever serves as the head of the Tower Wizards (currently Alvec Autumnhelm) also serves as an advisor to the king. This practice has seen various levels of seriousness over the generations, though the late king Olus used this precedent to its fullest extent. It is unclear if his daughter will follow in his footsteps.

History
Worrecstay was founded near the beginning of the current age by King Worrec Nochade, the second king of the Saldes, who later went on to found New Saldastron as well. Over the years, the mountain base was used as many things, from a hunting lodge to a vacation home for the royal family. However, in 443 gen., King Rita Nochade secretly decreed the old castle be rebuilt as a base of operations for her new court wizard, Edwick Chirit. And while the need for its secrecy has all but died out, its arcane traditions have persisted into the present.

The Silver Ruin's Involvement
The Silver Ruin first arrived in Worrecstay via teleportation circle on Iwesed, Daithram 26, 921 gen. There, Shoal learned that she is in possession of the Arca Daliam, a powerful artifact said to contain ultimate knowledge.

Having been the targets of a seemingly failed attempt on Autumnhelm's life, the party was then left to their own devices for three days while Autumhelm tended to the death of King Olus. The party discovered the culprits were Envid Sulas and Restana Taranas, the transmutation and evocation specialists (respectively) who the party managed to thwart. The two wizards fled upon Autumnhelm's return and the party departed south soon after.
