Tower of Khazan

Malron’s Account

Szoldar led us to a tower in the woods beside a lake, with a purple and gold Vistani wagon at its foot warning trespassers off in Ezmerelda’s name. The door had no handle, only a red seal with Khazan’s name; Olfin traced the pattern of the signet ring on it and it opened⁠16. The wagon was trapped. Inside the tower a platform lifted us between floors, and on the fourth someone had been living: a bed, a desk, a journal page in van Richten’s hand and a sketch of Rictavio’s carnival⁠17. Van Richten later told us he had hidden there, in the tower at Lake Baratok, with Arabelle, and that the tower blocks magic, Strahd’s scrying included⁠18. The runes we learned there opened Khazan’s own tomb under the castle⁠47.
