Hello everyone I’m completely new to the forum and would very much like some help already. I know I know the new guy asking for help already what a pain but here goes anyway .
I’m running a 3.5 game for my sons and their friends because oh they want to see the old addition… Anyway making a long story short I’m trying to find information on stormwatch castle because I’m Making an adventure Manshoon and Zhentarium heavy, as they are in the Moonsea/Dales area. I can’t seem to find out any information on stormwatch castle anywhere. Does anybody have any information be it official or even on official. Thanks in advance

| What is your source of this Location? I don't think I have ever heard of it before? |

There's a villa in Waterdeep called Stormwatch but I've never heard of Stormwatch Castle.

That is what kept coming up on my Google Searches. |

It is in the FRCS (4e) on page 284. The first paragraph is:
"Stormwatch
Manshoon’s lair stands between Westgate and the ruins of Starmantle, not far from an old road that once connected the two cities. Known to most merely as a haunted castle from which none return, the stronghold is appointed as befits its decadent immortal lord, and deep within are his personal chambers and sepulcher. Manshoon keeps a small force of living Zhents here, but his undead servitors outnumber the living."
Edit: It is also mentioned on page 20 of MT Black's DMsGuild product Darkhold: Secrets of the Zhentarim. |
"Iriaebor is a fine city. So what if you can have violence between merchant groups break out at any moment. Not every city can offer dinner AND a show."

I found the information on the forgotten realms fandom page for stormwatch, the haunted castle. But that’s all they had on it.
Thank you so much I don’t have any of the 4E books so I wouldn’t have known to look for it there. Not exactly sure why MT DM’s guild is do you have a link for that? |

| OK I found out what the DM’s guild was so thank you on that as well. This is all new to me I’ve been a player and DM for a good long while but haven’t played or DM since the early 2000s |

| It is only a mention in the Secrets of the Zhentarim. It is the FRCS that has a bit more information including the vamp Manshoon's 4e stats. |
