# The Ioxian League Obelisk in Castle Never [[Nash Alagondar]] joined [[Ioxian League]] in 1380, before [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/The Spellplague]]. The obelisk has the crest of the Ioxian League on it. This obelisk was in the [[Vault of the Nine]], and seemed to be an outlet for a power source nearby, connecting the castle (or the power source nearby) to [[Mount Hotenow]]. I used this obelisk to fix the misfiring magical wards in [[Castle Never]], and caused portals to stop appearing in the castle. ## Purpose/source In [[82_20210704 Spellscarred]], I felt that most of the power of the Obelisk is being used in an abjuration capacity somewhere northeast. Here are places that lie northeast: - [[Neverwinter Wood]] - [[Mount Hotenow]] - a tower beyond Neverwinter Wood that only appears in moonlight on certain nights, beyond that, a desert. - There are barbarians that partially roam the forest. They're [[Uthgardt]] barbarians. It is said that the burial mound of their greatest warrior is somewhere there and that barbarians defend it fiercely, not wanting people to trespass.
