There are 7 locations to write up, the last one is the castle that's been in stasis/abandoned for X hundred years - which means I will actually be drawing up a room by room dungeon after all!Also today the venture teaser came to me in the car. I had to pull over and record it onto my phone. I have transcribed it and edited it and would LOVE feedbackA thousand years ago, on the Plateau of Kar, the Tower arrived. They say it arrived at night, in fire and flood - descending from the sky and settling in the middle of the Lake of Tears. Vaguely looking like a twenty mile high tree, the locals immediately began to call it Yggdrasil, the World Tower. Soon after its arrival, grey floating objects that didn't seem to be powered by anything, left from the upper reaches of the Tower. While the Tower did not seem to interact with the denizens of the Plateau, travelers to Kar told tales of sky ships that would land among civilized peoples; capture many, and kill many more, and then leave. Rumor was that those captured never returned. Was that related to the Tower?Locally, new fearsome creatures were said to swim in the lake near the Tower. Oddly, the creatures seemed to focus on capsizing boats, ships, rafts - and devouring the sailors. Within a year or two, no one traveled near the Tower. The Tower sat, silently, and faded into the backgroundFive hundred years ago, someone noticed that the objects (the ships?) no longer seemed to be leaving the Tower. It roughly coincided with the decade long "Season of Lights" - a period where near the top of the Tower lights shimmered across and over the crown. Reports of the giant sky ships ended in the historical record around this time as well. Could it be the Tower was now dormant? Ah - but the lake creatures were still there... After the Seaon of Lights, the Tower sat, silently, and faded into the backgroundThree hundred years ago, a thread of bright light lanced from the top of the tower up into the sky. For the first century, "beads" of light would travel up and down the thread of light, although about two hundred years ago, that also stopped. So it had been for the past 200 years, the thread of light shimmering from the distant top of a still, strange Tower. The Tower sat, silently, and faded into the backgroundThus it has been - The Tower does something, but the Plateau is basically unaffected. So - eventually the peoples of the Plateau of Kar, they begin to forget. Every once in a while it is noticed - "oh my gosh, there's that Yg" but quickly fading again from consciousness as daily life is so urgent - much like a mountain in the distance is suddenly noticed.One month ago, there was a tremendous earthquake. The Tower survived the earthquake - but one end of the lake has been breached, and the lake has started to drain. The city of Bran where the breach occurred has been devastated, and three weeks of disaster recovery has been happening as the lake level lowers, and lowers, and lowersLast week, a crack or cave in the side of the tower was revealed.Yesterday, for the first time in recorded history, a land bridge to the Tower was revealed.This morning - you have chosen to enter The Tower of Yg</blockquote>
