Selune's Eye Lighthouse


The Swordcoast is mostly cliffs riddled with caves, the coasts are dangerous with sharp prodruding rocks. Not a single port exist between Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate.

Where Grayflow River opens out to the sea stand a lone structure, a lighthouse, braving the violent winds and tides, and serving as the first sign that travelers are nearing Waterdeep, and also to warn of the sand banks. 
Always the guides in the night, Selunites keep the lighthouse ablaze with the divine light of their god. It also is a convenient location for small merchant ships to load or unload some goods, as Daggerford is only a few miles upstream. 


The Priest of Selune minding the small village very rarely see any action, as very few people oppose the lighthouse. Although the Swordcoast is a dangeous place, and they often have to repel some scavenging beasts or sea creatures, but such skimishes have never caused a problem. Until recently. The few fishermen and dockworkers living at the lighthouse, or close by, have reported to the selunites strange attacks by insect like creatures. At the moment, it obviously seem to be mostly scavenging of food or explorating groups, but the priest are keeping an eye out. Some say that wherever you see one Kruthik, a thousand more follow, like ants.
