Thinkin' up a location I think would be interesting for later down the road.


The Tower of the Old Gods

A twisted structure juts out of the forest, carven of smooth, glassy grey stone, as if an entire mountain were sacrificed to build it. It doesn't seem physically possible for such a thing to support its own weight, yet here it is, like a grand middle finger to known architecture. Numerous smaller structures in all shapes and sizes dangled from the sides of the tower on the way up, each supported by no more than the bridge of stone that connects it to the tower's main structure. There are no windows. Anywhere. Periodically, a truly enormous bird flies to and from a point on the tower - perhaps it's made a nest there?

The base of the tower is, despite the tower's size, rather small, and it's difficult to identify at which point it starts expanding. The front door arch is covered in markings in an ancient language - "VONAR", "EINAR", "GOROGOTH", and "STREIS" on the top of the arch. The door itself has more markings, but these appear to be a schedule listing the Times of Worship, which are four times a day, seven hours apart from eachother, and nine days per week. Something seems wrong about that. Another small list detailing the donation and tax systems is present, but there's not much of interest there. The door is locked, and will only open again when a suitable band of adventurers gathers before it.

A several century old flyer for a bake sale is, somehow, still intact and glued to the side of the door arch. You're a few hundred years late, so the cookies have probably sold out, unfortunately.
