 Wyrms of the North: Miirym, "The Sentinel Wyrm"
When all that remained of the Sentinel Wyrm was a malevolent but diligent invisible guardian force, the monks of Candlekeep, fearing for the safety of legitimate visitors to the abbey, hired mages to destroy their strange guardian.
There's little else of interest in the passages within the Sentinel Wyrm's reach, beyond one seeping spring of drinkable water and the aforementioned scattering of glass guardians; would-be intruders are warned that Miirym knows every bend and fissure of her "domain" intimately and always knows precisely where she is, and whether anything has changed.
The Sentinel Wyrm hasn't been back to her lair in a little over fifteen hundred years -- and in that time, it has disappeared, sliding into the sea in 788 DR, when the "sea stack" it was located atop collapsed under the tireless pounding of the waves.
