So I read about Castle Perilous in one of R.A. Salvatore's more recent books, and while I wasn't familiar with all of the backstory it mostly made sense to me, then, for unrelated reasons I stumbled across a tidbit that said Castle Perilous was Acerark's turf. I was hoping someone well versed in the lore could clear up my confusion! :smallsmile:

Zhengyi. Definitely Zhengyi. I never even saw anything about Acerak in the novels and Zhengyi is constantly refenrenced in the Promise of the Witch King.
Acerark or whatnot is the demilich in Tomb of Horrors, isn't he?

The adventure Prisoner of the Castle Perilous says that Acererak did own such a structure, and that it's not really a proper noun. (It has a sidebar "Exploring other castles perilous")
The adventure's about a simulacrum of Acererak from before his demilich ascension who wants to become a demilich himself. His particular castle perilous is the Sundered Tower of Moil, a remnant of the city of Moil left floating around the Negative Energy plane.
