Fort Morninglord
Fortress in Elturgard
Fort Morninglord is a keep of Elturgard above the River Chionthar, sealed after its entire garrison of paladins vanished overnight in 1476 DR.
Every stone of the keep is blackened, every door and window fused shut and bricked over, and the paladins camped nearby do not look at it.

Overview
The fort lies a day's ride from Elturel, overlooking the Chionthar; on our map roads lead to Elturel, Scornubel and Baldur's Gate. In 1476 DR its whole garrison disappeared in one night, every stone was blackened and every door and window was fused shut.
Fearing some unknown evil, the High Observer of Elturgard, Thavius Kreeg, ordered the fort bricked up and declared that anyone entering it would be outlawed. A new garrison was set up in a fortified camp nearby. Rumour blames a lich who turned the paladins to the worship of Orcus.

- A knight of Elturel secretly asks the party to enter the sealed fort, knowing they will be outlaws if they are caught.
