Al - Bidir Sallah Al - Bidir Sallah , also known as the Home of the Seekers of Knowledge , was a massive university located in Huzuz in 1367 DR that housed 20 , 000 students and hundreds of instructors . Easily the largest of its kind in all of Zakhara , the university included colleges for Alchemy , Barbering , Combat , Fine Arts , Magic , and Science . Each college had its own dean who met with the other deans on a monthly basis to discuss university issues . All deans reported to the headmaster Akyid al - Neti , who was also the dean of the College of Magic . Students from all over Faerûn were welcome to attend studies here , though outland barbarians paid double fees and were not permitted to pay their way via work - study programs . The six colleges and their deans are listed below : College of Alchemy . Students attending this college were required to provide their own materials and ingredients , hence the high cost of tuition . Classes were divided into three types : General Survey , Basics of Potion - Making , and multiple potion - specific classes . Students often had to wait for a year to attend a specific potion - making class . The dean , Sofir Naj - kri , craved recipes for rare and powerful potions and would often wave tuition costs for someone who provided one of these in exchange . The Barbering College . Aspiring Barbers learned their trade here and practiced their skills on the other students at the university . Since the Dean of this college changed periodically , the curriculum was also prone to change , sometimes drastically . College of Combat Technique . Students attending the College of Combat Technique , or Warrior ' s College , not only learned martial skills , but also those dealing with properly maintaining the tools of their trade both offensively and defensively . Attendance levels at this college were lower compared to the other due to higher tuition and equipment costs . College of Fine Arts .

Advanced students were permitted to take classes in non - Zakharan history and customs . College of Magic . This was the second largest of the colleges , attended by mages and non - mages alike . Headmaster al - Neti firmly believed that anyone possessing average intelligence could learn magic in its most fundamental form . The Headmaster ' s courses appeared to go on forever because the more he learned about magic , the more he taught to his students . College of the Sciences . Course study included classes in zoology , botany , healing and religion . All classes were taught by Zann ite priests who were appointed by the current High Priest from the great mosque of Zann . Most , if not all , Zannite priests in Huzuz served as instructors at the College of the Sciences for at least one semester during their careers .

Wall of ice Wall of ice , formerly known as Veridon ' s ice wall , was an evocation spell that created a thick , opaque , sheet or dome of ice . After the Spellplague , only the wall form was available . " Wall of ice " could be cast by sorcerer s , wizard s , and cleric s who commanded the cold or ocean domain s . In the time of Netheril , it could be cast by arcanist s of the Inventive or Variation specializations . Effects . All versions of this spell created a smooth , unbroken feature of ice , but they varied in size , shape , and support requirements . Older versions of this spell did not require the ice sheet to be anchored to anything , thus allowing a caster to cause it to fall upon opponents , creating an effect similar to " ice storm " . Another form that could be created before the Spellplague was a dome of at least 10 ft ( 3 . 1 m ) radius . Walls and domes both required a solid anchor . Vertical walls were anchored to the floor , while slanted or horizontal walls required two anchoring surfaces . After the Spellplague , the wall was made up of contiguous 5 ft ( 1 . 5 m ) square orthogonal segments anchored to the floor . The thickness of the wall was originally determined by the level of the caster , being 1 in ( 2 . 5 cm ) per level , but after the Spellplague , the wall was a whopping 60 in ( 1 . 5 m ) thick . The size of the wall was originally 10 ft ( 9 . 3 m ) per level in any dimensions up to the maximum area . Similarly , the radius of an ice dome could be increased by 1 ft ( 30 cm ) for each level past the minimum necessary to cast " wall of ice " . Post Spellplague , the maximum length of the wall was 60 ft ( 18 . 3 m ) and maximum height was 30 ft ( 9 . 1 m ) . Ice formation required a clear area in which to form . The spell fizzled if cast in an area occupied by creatures or objects . The ice was frigidly cold , injuring those who tried to break through or even stand next to it . One version of this spell could be disrupted by an adjacent and particularly quick creature as it was being formed — if they succeeded , they took no damage and the wall dissipated . The ice was vulnerable to fire and especially strong magical fire . A " fireball " or fiery dragon breath could melt the earlier " walls " in about a minute , creating a large steamy fog cloud that filled the area for 10 minutes . The post - Spellplague wall melted in an hour unless it took sufficient damage from fire , in which case it was destroyed . Components . In addition to verbal and somatic components , casting of " wall of ice " required a small fragment of quartz or rock crystal . History . The spell was created by the arcanist Veridon of Netheril , ruler of the enclave of Lathery . He introduced it in 3369 NY ( −490 DR ) under the name " Veridon ' s ice wall " . It later became known simply as " wall of ice " . " Wall of ice " was a common spell in Faerûn in the 1360s DR .

They were on a high meadow north of Startop Crag when the knights impetuously pursued the orcs into an ambush , and a few were killed . Alusair rallied her forces to defeat the orcs and their dark naga master . Ulnder cheered and thought the task done , until Alusair reminded him they had work to do yet , and he complained victories were never as simply done as in stories .
Cambion Cambions are considered to be the result of breeding a devil with mortals . The offspring of a mortal male and a succubus is a different creature known as an alu - fiend . In general , a cambion is described as any humanoid creature that is half - fiend . Scholars have differed over the years as to the exact meaning of the term " cambion " . Past scholars used the term to denote " the union of a planetouched woman ( usually a tiefling ) and a tanar ' ri " . They also further delineated this terminology to create " noble cambions " : Marquis and Baron cambions are similarly sired by a demon lord father and a female humanoid half - fiend . In more recent times ( since the Spellplague ) , the terminology and usage of this term has shifted to mean the union of a mortal female and a devil . Physiology . The mothers of true cambions always die in childbirth , serving to strand the newborn on the Material Plane where it will be orphaned , or in the Abyss where it will be abused by the demons who look down upon such children . Never accepted by either societies , cambions invariably grow up bitter and twisted but , due to their powers , they often become exceptional assassin s . Many though , have been made the ambassadors to the worshipers of various demonic powers , usually Graz ' zt , Demogorgon , Orcus and Lolth Loners by nature , they like to get lost in the crowds of large cities , especially in places where people don ' t ask questions . Good - aligned cambions are rare , but sometimes , if their mother was good or neutral - aligned , they take on her nonevil nature and are subsequently doomed to a life of loneliness as not even their demonic patrons will accept them . Cambions excel in luring mortals to the Abyss , the only demons better at it are succubi . They then warn demons of the mortals ' approach and let them do what they do best so the souls can be turned into larvae or mane s . Cambions are very ambitious and always put as much effort as they can into whatever they try to do , maybe either to prove themselves to a parent or to themselves , but regardless , they make great leaders , information brokers , etc . and are often catalysts for major events . Cambions breed true with each other , but they often prefer to seek out humanoid mates to create tiefling children . . Behind the Scenes . In 1st and 2nd edition of " " , and by extension the Forgotten Realms , cambion was a term that meant the offspring of a demon ( other than a succubus ) and a human . In 3rd edition , it was a synonym for any half - fiend ( according to the " Monster Manual 3rd edition " ) . The " Expedition to the Demonweb Pits " adventure threw in a third definition , claiming that a cambion was the child of a demon and a tiefling . Now with the 4th edition we are given a fourth meaning yet : the child of a human and a devil .

Orc - King Grimmerfang renamed the Hollow Mountain after himself , to Mount Grimmerfang . However , dwarves invaded and Vastar fell in the Year of the Spellfire , 610 DR . The dwarves took Mount Grimmerfang from the orcs and slew Grimmerfang himself at the mountain . He was left entombed there . The same year , the dwarves founded the kingdom of Roldilar , under Deep King Tuir Stonebeard . Tuir placed his throne deep beneath Mount Grimmerfang and held court from there . It was here in the Year of the Costly Gift , 645 DR , that Maskyr One - Eye bought the vale of Maskyr ' s Eye from King Tuir . Resurgent orcs engulfed Roldilar in the the Year of the Bloody Crown , 649 DR and the dwarves retreated to Mount Grimmerfang . This ended in the bloody , 20 - day - long Battle of Deepfires beneath the mountain , and the fall of Roldilar , the Realm of Glimmering Swords , in 649 DR . Knowledge of the location of Mount Grimmerfang eventually became lost . Those few dwarven elders still alive by 1370 DR who could still identity Mount Grimmerfang refused to tell human s or elves about it . Iyrauroth returned to Mount Grimmerfang sometime between 1369 DR and 1373 DR and laired there . Location .

Spice Road The Spice Road was a major trade route between Faerûn and Kara - Tur . Description . Less used than its southern counterpart , the Silk Road , the Spice Road was a long and dangerous route through the steppes of the Endless Wastes . Beginning at Chao Yang in Shou Lung , and ending at Chang - liu - shui where it met with the Golden Way , the Spice Road made up the second half of the northern trade route between the western lands of Faerûn , and the eastern lands of Kara - Tur . Monsters drawn by dead animals , the wandering nomadic tribesmen of the steppe , and bandits looking to attack caravans , were major problems along the road . Due to this , caravans along this route were known to hire twice as many guards as those in the south , and were more welcoming to passengers as a means to increase their protection . To pay for this additional security , caravans along this route either had to carry more expensive good , or charge more for what they carried . This drew more bandits to the region , creating a somewhat vicious cycle . Despite this however , some caravans preferred this route as it allowed them to bypass the high taxes charged by the nations along the southern Silk Road .

The structure appeared to have never had a roof , and the floor was flagged with white stone slabs . At the center was a low dais . Sunlight gleamed off the white stone on a clear day , and it must have appeared quite proud when it was whole . Instead , it appeared as a cluster of broken pillars and broken walls .
