{{Worldbuilders}}{{Infobox location|title = {{PAGENAME}}|type = City|location = [[Isonhound]]|Government = Mayoral|inhabiting Race = [[Human]]|image=Seglock.png|imagecaption=Map of Seglock as it existed around 825 [[PR]]}}'''Seglock''' is a city in [[Isonhound]] which served as a base of operations early on in [[The War of Many Names]] for adventurers to hone their crafts and protect the large influx of refugees caused by the ongoing onslaught of [[Dragon|Dragons]]. It is home to '''Seglock University''' as well as a temple of the '''Lunarans''', followers of the moon and [[Sardior#Prehistory|Eros the Crystal Dragon]].  

=='''About'''==
This city is run by a mayor and has a city guard. There are a lot of refugees seeking protection from the depredations of the [[Dragon|Dragons]]. '''Drakkoths''' and various other monsters surround area. During early 826 [[PR]], the [[Sardior#Gem Artifacts|Moonwell]] at the '''Lunaran''' temple produced a city-encompassing dome which [[Dragon|Dragons]] could not penetrate.

The city is predominantly [[Human]], even with the influx many different [[Race|Races]] into the city as a result of the [[Dragon]] conflict. There is a lot of wealth in the city due to the presence of '''Seglock University''' and the tenure of its legions of professors. There also is an influx of coin into the local economy from students drinking large amounts of alcohol in town due to the prohibition of alcohol on campus (this restriction does not extend to professors and staff, however, likely due to the work stress of dealing with such a large student body).

=='''Notable Places'''==
'''Drang's Cart o' Pumpkins'''

A donkey cart of never-ending pumpkins that was owned and operated by [[Drang]], a [[Bugbear]] of fighting prowess and loquacious of speech. Often found near the '''Iron Eyrie''', but sometimes not. This is really a place that is not so much a physical location, but more of a metaphysical concept illuminating…no, it is a mobile pumpkin shack.

'''The Fighter's Forge'''

A licensed pit-fighting establishment that commonly puts forth competitors into the [[Tournament of Fist and Fury]].

'''Gag Order'''

This is a muzzle shop owned by [[Linden Rue]] offering a great selection of muzzles of all sorts and having even branched out to gags made of wood.

'''Garden of the Fallen'''

This memorial garden gives a place to remember those who fell defending the realm from the scourge of the [[Dragon|Dragons]]. There is a large memorial commemorating all of the people lost, be they noble, present, or adventurer wreathed in a forget-me-not vine. This large plant blooms year-round and stays green and vibrant year-round. There are a growing number of statuaries added to the garden commemorating heroes who fell fighting [[Dragon|Dragons]] and other threats to the common good. 

'''[[The Iron Eyrie|Iron Eyrie]]'''

Home of the [[Band of the Iron Hawk|Band of the Iron Hawks]], this guildhall is located in the heart of the '''Heartland District'''. It features a large guildhall as well as private rooms. They have an armory and smithy attached, as well as an alehouse where they sell their unique beer.

* '''All That Ales You''': This is a small bar area that is open to the public in an almost separate building outside the general outline of the guildhall itself. The guild maintains this location to have meetings with non guild-members as well as for selling its premier '''Iron City Ale'''.

'''The Rusty Spoon'''

A dingy bar located not too far from the '''Iron Eyrie'''.

'''Seglock University, Home of the [[Fighting Owlbears]]'''

Many people of the town have never passed into the venerable institution's three gates. These gates are affectionately known as '''East Gate''', '''West Gate''', and '''Center Gate'''. This institute of higher learning has spawned some great alumni including the late [[Horatio Cheshire (NPC)|Horatio Cheshire.]] 

The [[Fighting Owlbears]] participate in the [[Olympia Magisteria]] for the honor of the university. They are three-time champions of this important sport and not even the depredations of [[Dragon|Dragons]] have been able to have a game postponed or delayed.

'''[[Crystal Moonwell|Moonwell]]'''

This is a relic of the '''Lunaran''' people that was set up by some adventurers to keep away the depredations of passing [[Dragon|Dragons]]. Seems to have no effect on [[Dragonborn]] or '''Dracohydras'''. It does keep [[Dragon|Dragons]] and whales at least a mile away from the city. The exact location in the city was originally a mystery before its activation at the centrally-based '''Lunaran''' temple.

'''Murder Hobo (or Homeowner) Pit of Fighting'''

A local licensed pit fighting establishment. This is a great way for those who swing swords to have something to swing at that is not some unsuspecting merchant or refugee. In the month-long series of battles, many participants have amassed a fortune. Many more have amassed an impressive number of scars and bruises. Of course, to sooth those bruises, many pit fighters turn to booze, which recycles that amassed fortune back into the local pub economy.  

'''[[Tristram's Center for the Performing Arts|Tristram's Center of the Living Arts (TCLA)]]'''

This is a center that hosts many different types of the bardic arts from song, storytelling, rhetoric and many disciplines in-between.  This large multi-theater building was reported to be a gift from an entity called the '''Curator''' who had it built in a single night by some sort of magical process. This '''Curator''' appears to have made this happen due to [[Tristram Caniedydd|Tristram's]] help in neutralizing [[Horatio Cheshire]] during the assault on the '''Shadow Forge'''. The building itself often seems to be alive generally follows the commands of its owner. There is reported to be a vault somewhere in the building that holds many instruments and songbooks of power and interest. Others say it is an empty room awaiting fulfillment. Regardless of the functions and decor on the internal rooms, this became a center for arts and entertainment in the city. 

'''Seglock Library''' 

Refugees from the [[Lunarans|Lunaran]] tribe out of [[Hallasen]] were brought to live temporarily here during the [[Drakkoth]] sieges of the north in 825 [[PR]]. 

'''Lock & Keg Tavern''' 

One of the city's taverns, operated by a [[satyr]] named [[Into the Greedy Green/NPCs#Rory|Rory]] 

'''Trout's Toe''' 

Small bar that has had some explosive entertainment. If you need to let off steam, the '''Monk's Mosh Pit''' is a great way, short of entering the '''Murder Hobo Pit of Fighting'''. 

=='''Notable Events'''==

'''Assault on the Shadow Forge'''

An event that didn't actually take place in Seglock, as the city is not located on the plane of [[The Shadowfell|Shadowfell]]. If it had, there would be a lot fewer living refugees. Although it did not take place in the city proper, it is included as this was the fall of [[Horatio Cheshire]] and the end of his reign of terror over the city and its people.  

'''[[Cheshire's Assault on Seglock|Gala of Protection]]'''

This gala was formed to thank the various adventures from around [[Isonhound]] for assisting the locals of Seglock. These activities ranged from protecting not just the refugees who had fled to the city, but also shielding the population of Seglock from the growing threat of [[Dragon|Dragons]]. This gala features many vendors and activities that including the crowning of the "Tin Chef," winner of a cooking contest.

=='''Notable People'''==
'''Balgeiros Quodrephostir the Elixir Merchant'''

Balgeriros (Bal to his friends) has the finest selection of herbal remedies from the [[The Feywild|Feywild]] to cure what ails you and possibly a few things that didn't (patent pending). If you are not sure if anything ails you, try a flask of nearly area-famous '''Eladrin Ale''', and get a flask of conjectural-hangover-be-gone at half price. A [[Elf|Wood Elf]] or some sort of [[Elf]], although his origins are a little obscured.  

'''[[Into the Greedy Green/NPCs#Baron Faro|Baron Faro]]''' 

An [[Eladrin]] merchant and private citizen whose title of Baron is completely honorary. Rumor has it that he holds lots of sex parties and has many people wanting to kill him. They were most likely never invited to the parties.

'''Professor Galloway'''

A [[Human]] professor from '''Seglock University'''. One of the only professors to interact with the town during the attack on the university when adventurers saved his life and the lives of several students.

'''[[Horatio Cheshire]]'''

A [[Human]] who was responsible for the deaths of many local citizens due to using his alchemical skills to create a mutated series of [[Orc|Orcs]] and [[Goblin|Goblins]]. He culminated in taking over the '''Shadow Forge''', which caused the '''Curator''' to send a company of adventurers to deal with him. He is currently not living, his remains having been devoured by a riding beast that he created called a "Nope."

'''[[Into the Greedy Green/NPCs#Rory|Rory]]'''

The '''Satyr''' barkeep of the '''Locke & Key Tavern'''.

'''Mayor Towson''' 

Mayor of Seglock.
