Castle Nethmarch afther 1364, renamed: The Spires Against the Stars

Shortly thereafter, their employer, Nails of the Lady Dlatha Faenar, a priestess of Beshaba, takes residence and renames the keep the Spires Against the Stars.

Necromanticise!
I'm curious about the Roll of Years-style entry the OP quoted as well. I've only found that information on the internet so far, and nobody sources it. It's not reproduced in Brian's book and I can't find a reference to the castle's name or Shyressa being there in any of my sources.
As mentioned upthread, Lady Dlatha Flanaer and the Spires are in the Beshaba entry in Faiths & Avatars (and are described as a "vampire-haunted, abandoned castle" north of Saradush), but the additional details aren't given.
If anybody knows the source of that timeline entry, I'd greatly appreciate a pointer. The scant stuff I've got relating to these two fascinating women is listed below.
Cheers,
Christopher
572: Shyressa, a concubine in a wizard ruler's harem in Lower Tathtar is made a vampire at age 21. She immediately slays the vampire who created her and begins to study magic. [Empires of the Shining Sea, p. 184]

The original listing Kuje linked to above is not actually my work, but that of another scribe's. My new listing, merely expands on this previous work by including several new temples mentioned, and adding the sources where the temples were originally referenced/detailed.

I think you'll find that Kuje's NPC lists pretty much already covers this.

What is the biggest temple to Beshaba in Forgotten Realms?
Are there any official priests of Beshaba anywhere?
A long time ago I cant remember where there were a site where you could see where all the temples to the different religions where in forgotten realms, do anybody remember which site you can see this ?
http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/temples.htm
I think thats what you are after.
And check my NPC lists for those that I found that worship Beshaba.
Note, that I am in the process of updating this listening, including more recent temple mentions from sourcebooks and novels, and including the sources all these temples are referenced in. So, it's likely that some of the more recent temples mentioned for Beshaba won't be on that list.
I'm not sure when I'll be finished though.

I apologise Vic, I didn't see this particular scroll as active, with the recent timeouts.

Shyressa is indeed a "Runemaster" among the Twisted Rune. And she is a vampire.

I'm not so sure. She doesn't immediately sound all that familiar. I'd likely have to do some digging to be certain.
