Blackstaff Tower
Blackstaff Tower is the imposing dark stone tower of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun, archmage of Waterdeep and former Masked Lord of the city, as well as his apprentices and his consort and châtelaine, Laeral Silverhand. It is located in Castle Ward, near Jural's Dance festhall. It is supposedly linked to both Piergeiron’s Palace and Castle Waterdeep by means of underground tunnelwork.
It is a solid tower seemingly made out of a single shard of volcanic black obsidian with no apparent entrances of windows. It is rumored to be filled with dozens of active gates to various points across the Realms and beyond, as well as the uncounted treasures gathered by the reclusive archmage and his associates.
