The Tower of Art

The mysterious Tower of Art lies to the northeast of Lowangen, surrounded on all sides by impassable mountains which emanate an aura of evil. The tower is organized into six levels, with a dangerous lair and several levels of basement. Almost all of the inhabitants of the tower are evil, with the exception of the Grand Master Paladin, his guards, and the Arbiters which judge those who pass up through the levels.

The first level of the tower is the most benign, consisting of a library (and librarian), several hidden demonic guards, and a few miscellaneous, generally harmless mobs. Above, on level two, dwells Grimbold the necromancer and his army of zombies. Level 3 holds several guardians, the Dark Master and his zombies and trolls. The fourth level is home to the Royal family, including royal assassins, the Queen of the Fourth, her demonic child, and their guards--not to mention the chaotic jester Balaria and her minions. Almost at the top of the tower is the Grand Master Paladin and the shrine of the apocalypse.

The final level of Art holds a healing room before Fendawyr the half-dragon and the defiled paladins surrounding him. The very top of the tower is home to the great shadow worm Drassk and his offspring, while the basement holds Grimbold's slaves, guards, and a bronze titan the size of the neighborhood you grew up in.

• The Mark of Necromancy is available in the tower, for being courageously close to Grimbold.
• The entire tower is PK, with the majority being NPK. Be aware that Balaria, Fendawyr, and Draask all lurk in CPK!
• There are many locked doors in the tower - generally speaking, the appropriate key is dropped by an NPC near the door. Some doors are easier to bash though!
• Rumors tell that the key to Sanctity gear is held by the Grand Master Paladin and it secrets remain in Lowangen.
• The Bronze titan is responsible for guarding Grimbold's Annex, an area which rewards the elite just for visiting.
• Fendawyr's soul may be important to other sorcerers throughout Alyria.
• Grimbold becomes immensely powerful at night - the very corpses of your slain enemies are animated by his dark magic!
