Leilon

Leilon has had a checkered history. A town has existed there for as long as people remember but it has been abandoned many times. The town was abandoned many centuries ago and although there have been several attempts to resettle it none have lasted too long. Perhaps the eerie tower, perhaps the aura of petrification that extends from it, settlers tend to decide to find their luck elsewhere. Most recently there is an attempt to settle it funded by Lord Dagult Neverember to make Leilon into a functional fishing town and a a convenient resting place for weary travelers on the High Road along the Sword Coast between Neverwinter and the City of Waterdeep. 

Secretly it is intended to also be a thorn in the side of the Cult of Talos and their machinations by serving as the base of the The Leilon...Some?.
