"Kylearan's Tower..."


Kylearan's Amber Tower is the home of the old archmage Kylearan, which sits in the north-east corner of Skara Brae at the end of Hawk Scabbard. Its first floor is the only known floor that's ever been accessed; the rest remain a mystery.

The gate to the tower is locked tight and is impossible to pass without an onyx key. But some have reportedly discovered special teleportation magic - perhaps there is another way?

When Tarjan destroyed Skara Brae, the tower became inaccessible, its fate left in the hands of time. But Kylearan is a wise, resourceful old archmage. Surely the tower survived.
