Chalamtur Mountain

Also called Mount Chalamtur. Old records written by the sage Sumare, a resident of Karem's Beach two hundred years ago whose writings are stored within the Temple-Library of Zalona, describe stories of a Marzani treasure vault located within Chalamtur Mountain. Sumare knew of no one who successfully entered the vault and lived. Travelers spoke of traps protecting the treasure within. Sumare wrote that the vault belonged to a larger palace complex. He believes the entrance to the complex was built into the side of the mountain on a ledge that can be reached by a long stair carved into the cliffs on the southern side of the mountain. Adventurers faced a series of traps and a guardian before they reached the vault. Within the vault was found the sphinx Taraxion, guarding access to one of the mysterious Boons of the Gods. He required adventurers to pass through a test of courage, transporting them to a strange realm where they faced dead warriors and mages.
