About a day's journey west of Silverymoon brings travelers to a dell north of the River Rauvin where lies the Herald's Holdfast, the spellguarded Citadel of Old Night, one of the five High Heralds of western Faerun. The citadel is a squat, stone tower so ancient and ivy-grown it is discernible to only those who know where to seek it.
The Herald's Holdfast is a precious library of heraldry and genealogy of the known human, elven, dwarven, halfling, and gnomish peoples as far back as records can be traced. It's said to be an invincible fortress, and it is respected by both good and evil races of the North - even some of the histories and badges of the orc, goblin, and hobgoblin races are preserved within its walls.
A little known woman, referred to as "Old Night" - is the curator of the place. There is a rumour that time passes differently for all who enter, and that those who enter only get one chance to visit
