Warlock's Crypt
Dungeon in The Sword Coast
Warlock's Crypt is the stronghold of Larloch, the Shadow King, an immensely powerful lich who has survived since the days of ancient Netheril.
A dark keep stands in a cold, silent hollow where birds do not sing, and pale lights move behind its narrow windows at night.

Overview
Warlock's Crypt lies in the Troll Hills of the southern Sword Coast; on our map it stands near the Trollbark Forest. It is a city of the undead built from the ruins of Orbedal, a flying Netherese enclave that crashed when the empire fell, and the home of Larloch, a Netherese archwizard who became a lich and has outlived his empire by thousands of years.
Larloch keeps to himself and serves only his own long-term designs, attended by undead spellcasters bound to his will. Few visit the Crypt, and fewer return.
