The wards of Silverymoon are a pair of magical protections that utilize a mythal which protect Silverymoon from all sorts of threats. The first ward encompasses an area that surrounds the city as well as 1000 feet beyond the city wall, while the second works in concert with the first and provides further protections to the palace. Full details of the mythal's effects, including the effects of the second ward are known to only two people, the High Mage and the ruler of the city, but a few others are trusted enough to be allowed to attune themselves to the wards and be able to control most of their powers.
