Suëleghan

Meaning "Onyx Fortress," the Suëleghan is a massive tower of onyx built by the fell Elven necromancer Rosentos. It is a magical fortress cloaked in fear and shadow. Even the mighty Nohr of the Mountains of Smoke tremble before its power, though they know not who, if anyone, is master of the tower. After the Dûn Basutil, Rosentos fled with the dragons, and after some time he devised a plan to built an unassailable fortress, insuring his safety against those who might seek revenge for his treachery, namely Ellon Tamar. Though Rosentos is long dead (or so it is thought), there are signs of activity within the Suëleghan. Deliveries are made; lights can be seen sometimes gleaming from the high windows; wails are often heard echoing from the depths of the tower. The Men of Korek will not even travel within eyesight of the tower, for they consider it an ill omen for anyone to look upon its black walls.
