The Mosque of Tyr

Sorry, just noticed this thread now.

N5 Under Illefarn.

This (old) module introduced (and mapped) the town of Daggerford and the surrounding regions, including The Mosque of Tyr (and some other locations mapped in that area).

You might also get some information from the "Daggerford" book in The North box, as most of that information originally came from N5. (I'm at the office right now, so I can't check to confirm.)

I don't believe N5 has any mention of it, I'll have to double check to make sure though. I know that the Daggerford book from The North boxed set does mention it very briefly, but only something along the lines of it being a day and a half south of Daggerford or similar... Hopefully we can find some solid info somewhere. I appreciate your help though, thank you.

This is based off memory, so correct me if I am wrong.

If I remember correctly, the Lands of Intrigue have a flavor similar to the Constantine Roman Empire, around the area of Turkey or so. This is where Europe started to blend in with Muslim type cultures, such as the Moors and such. (I could be wrong about the specific names, but I remember it is supposed to be a blend of European and Eastern cultures) The Lands of Intrigue are to the south, such as Amn and Tethyr. The Lands of Intrigue also venerate Tyr as a deity of that region.

That could explain why there is a "Mosque of Tyr". You may want to take a look of Lands of Intrigue, since it may go more into depth about the church of Tyr. It can be downloaded from the WotC website.

Thank you very much, I'll see if I can download it.

To me, Amn most resembles post-Moorish Spain, while Calimshan definately has a Turkish feel to it. Those are the impressions I've gotten from reading about them, YMMV.
