A Few Interesting Places: The Yellow Tower
Seasoned adventurers traveling through Ques Qual might want to give exploring the Yellow Tower a go. It’s easy enough to find, standind 200 feet tall in the middle of the Loxus Valley farmlands. The locals are always willing to sell a group any supplies they might need. Rates are very reasonable. There are three inns nearby, as well as five taverns.
The Yellow Tower was created 200 years ago by the team of Howzan and Kilibrok, two very powerful wizards that needed a place to store all of their belongings while the plotted to conquer first Qaus Qual, then the rest of the Middle Kingdoms. Sadly for them, Something Bad Happened. Exactly what that was is still a mystery, but both wizards were never heard from again, the land for 100 yards around the tower was barren for over a century, and there were strange sights and sounds that continue to this day.
The tower is 90 feet across at the base and perhaps half that at the peak. It has quite a number of windows, some balconies, sides as smooth as glass, and a large population of ravens. There is only one door into the tower, but it opens easily. Magical ascension of the exterior will not work, now will attempting to land using any flying creature. You need to walk in and climb the stairs.
Over the last 100 years, 26 adventuring teams have gone into the tower. Five came out within an hour and rode off in terror. Two leapt to their deaths from balconies halfway up. Nobody knows what happened to the other nineteen parties.
