The Treacherous Towers

About the adventure

Far to the east of the Sword Sea lies a small continent absent from every known map. Though unknown to most of the world, it is far from uninhabited. Coastal cities, isolated villages, and ancient ruins have existed there for generations, cut off from the wider world by violent waters and deadly reefs. For centuries, life on the continent was harsh but ordinary. Then the towers appeared. Without warning, three colossal towers rose from the land in bursts of arcane energy visible for miles. Carved into the entrance of each tower is the same message: “Rise, conquer, and be rewarded.” Since their arrival, adventurers, mercenaries, scholars, and treasure hunters from across the continent have flocked to the towers seeking fame, fortune, and power. Those who conquer a single tower are promised riches and glory beyond imagination. Those capable of overcoming all three towers will be granted an artifact from the mysterious creator’s personal vault. As you near the first tower, you spot a lone man waiting beside the road about a mile from the tower grounds. He wears a hooded cloak of royal blue trimmed in white and gold, his face hidden beneath the hood. “You’re heading to the towers?” he asks calmly. “Then allow me to warn you. Many have attempted, but no one has conquered all three.” He glances toward the distant tower before continuing. “If you still intend to go, I ask a favor. I represent an organization seeking answers about the towers and their creator. Should you uncover anything within writings, symbols, creatures or artifacts record it if you can.” ****Combat and Exploration heavy.****
