Introduction:

Pelgurn Tower is an old fortress that has seen service for a number of generations. Pelgurn is a good example of a transitional tower that has been rebuilt many times through the years. Given the architectural differences and obvious signs of reconstruction, it is apparent that Pelgurn was originally a singular rectangular tower. The tower has withstood many attacks, and has been severely damaged on more than one occasion. It is likely that most, if not all, of the south wall collapsed at some point. And it is probable that the two southern tower wings were constructed during the rebuilding of the tower's south wall.

Pelgurn Tower rises to a height of 66'. It is accessed by a flight of stairs built in the courtyard. A counterbalanced drawbridge set on a pivot allows the stairs to reach the tower entrance on the second floor.

The underground floor is constructed beneath the original tower. It contains a crypt, which is presently sealed from the remainder of the tower. The tower's current inhabitants may or may not be aware of the crypt's existence. The crypt has sustained some structural damage, but is still serviceable. The newer tower wings do not have any chambers underground, and their foundation construction is noticeably different from the original tower.
