No scribe seems to have read Swordmage ? I did but I must admit that the name of "Wailing tower" remind nothing for me.
It does not mean that it is not quoted in the novel. I read it when it has been released, several months ago. So I'm not sure at all that this Tower is not in the book.

I'm with Fillow. I bought the book when it came out but if the Wailing Tower is mentioned it I don't recall. Maybe there's something in the third edition sourcebook The Mysteries of Moonsea?
My Realms novel, Sandstorm, is now available for ordering.

Capnvan, why don't you ask directly to Rich in his CK's thread ?

Hi Christopher, hapy to read you back. It's a long time we did not discuss in the same thread.

Hi, Fillow!

So, capnvan, when I went to the shop tonight to pick up my reserved copy of Monster Manual 2 I did my usual run through the used stuff, and one thing that wasn't there last week was a very good copy of John Terra's 1995 Moonsea supplement. I'll give it a look-through later and see what I see.

Cheers,

I'll save you some time. There isn't anything about the Wailing Tower in The Moonsea supplement. I recall a similar discussion about the Tower here at Candlekeep in April '08. And I'd previously searched the tome for any useful info back then. I don't recall much info on the Wailing Tower in Mysteries of the Moonsea either, unfortunately.

As per the previous discussion, I surmised that the Tower may have been intentionally generated for the new map of Thar.

Maybe in the third one. I believe that the second one does not take place near Hulburg but somewhere else, around the sea.
