Sword Coast

The Ulcaster School of Wizardry was a magical academy founded on the Sword Coast by the wizard Ulcaster, under the guidance of the lich Aumvor the Undying. After achieving resounding but brief success, the school was destroyed by a group of Calishite mages and left to languish as a set of ruins in the centuries that followed. Teh spirit of Ulcaster continues to haunt the ruins of his school. In order to find peace, he seeks to recover some of knowledge that is believed to have been lost deep beneath the school. Throughout the years, some adventurers ventured to and died within the ruins, since they are infested with a number of horrific creatures including slimes such as mustard and ochre jellies, giant spiders, and undead dread wolves.

A ruined shell of an old, charred castle atop a hill. The passageways beneath the school are narrow and almost maze-like in their layout.
