The gold is topaz. It's just fancy decoration, and once upon a time was a teleportation circle controlled by the hierarchs. Also, if the fight goes on too long at the end of the adventure, it's the first section of the floor that collapses, leaving a big gap.The cartographer probably shouldn't have give it facets, because that makes it look raised.The top floor has a roof, with the ceiling twenty feet up. The balconies have no roof, but they do have railings. The shadowy figure is meant to suggest that Andrei von Recklinghausen possibly dies here. The Tragedies are incorporeal, so yes, they can fly through walls. The trick is destroy them while they're inside the tower, instead of going outside and getting strafed.The lance itself is 1700 feet at its pinnacle. Yes, that's ludicrous, but this was the seat of power of the second greatest empire the world has seen. (The greatest was in War of the Burning Sky, but that's on another continent. *wink*)Borne can smash people on the balconies or anyone bold enough to go outside the tower, but the only attack that could reach into the tower is the Spirit Cascade, and he could only target spots he could see if he sort of peered through one of the balcony doorways.</blockquote>
