The Abandoned Tower

The Abandoned Tower is an ancient stone tower at the northern edge of the Whitecliff Plateau. It lies beyond the wooden fortifications that protect the town at night. The tower is noteworthy for its connection to the ruins beneath Whitecliff and its stone recesses for Power Crystals. These suggest that the tower is a remnant of the ancient world, and perhaps still houses many secrets.

There are rumors that magical beasts that can take humanoid form often live here for short stretches of time.

Physical Description
The tower has two entrances. The first floor has a door that opens onto a winding stone staircase that spirals around the outside of the tower and into the surrounding woods. The second is a trapdoor that reveals a long wooden staircase descending into the ruins beneath Whitecliff. It is believed that the trapdoor can only be opened from within the ruins.

There is another trapdoor leading to a second floor. The second floor has a large gear that can be turned to rotate pieces of the stone roof, revealing the open air. This floor also houses a large pedestal with six stone recesses for power crystals. These recesses surround a central recess that seems to fit a larger sphere. The nature of the sphere is unknown, as is the effect of inserting power crystals into the stone recesses.
