Jesse Drecker's Spire of Long Shadows is one long epic bit o nastiness.
I'm prepping for it now. Well - truth be told - I've been prepping for it for about a year and a half. I've been itching to run this one for a long, long time.
I intend to make the 4 encounter zones in Kuluth-Mar more prominent in the adventure - mainly as a means of upping the party XP before they head in.
I am considering swapping out the encounter with the Yuan-Ti with somethign more keyed to the Spellweavers.
And that's the central reason for my request for more backstory/info concerning the race known as the Spellweavers.
I'm no noob - been playing nigh on 30 years now - but I'm not sure if I have come across the Spellweavers before. Did Drecker whip these guys up for the AoW? Is there more info I can find on the Spellweavers somewhere?
Anyone know?

The spell weavers come from Monster Manual II. There was also an "Ecology of the Spell Weaver" article on page 62 of Dragon Magazine issue 338 (written by Tito Leati).
Hope that helps!

The embarrassing thing is... I have both MMII *and*, far worse, that issue of Dragon and I never noticed. I was in such a rush to read the WormHunter PrC that I...*sigh*
My thanks.
Spellweavers first showed up in 2nd Edition in Dragon Magazine 163. Plus, I really like Eric Boyd's background information for the Realms, namely, that Jergal, the current demigod that is the scribe of the dead, and the former Netherese god of death, and the god of death before Myrkul, Cyric, and Kelemvor, was originally a spell weaver deity of necromancy that the Netherese eventually latched onto.
There are also some spellweaver ruins in 2E's Lands of Intrigue which I think is a free download at WotC.

Thanks - I'll check it out. Right now, I think I'm good with using some elements from Shackled City Adv Path which had Spell Weaver ruins in both Ch.4 - The Demonskar Legacy and in Ch. 6 - Secrets of the Soul Pillars.
Needs some work - but I've got most of the bridge adventure blocked out. It's looking pretty cool actually.
Should take a party of 6 from mid-11th level to 13th and it fits the Spire of Long Shadows more or less seamlessly.
Those who want a .pdf of the adventure can mail me at steelwind@dladventures.com and I'll send you one when it's finished (week or two - tops).
