In the land of Mitharis there is a tower. No one remembers how or when it got there; as long as the people have been around, so has the tower. The tower is at the very center of the land, and it was rumored that when you stood at the top you could see the entire land of Mitharis and even the lands beyond the Ridge. The odd thing was that, if you were to ask anyone what the tower looked like, or what was inside it, they would look at you oddly, with a puzzled expression, and say, “Well, it’s the tower. Everyone knows what’s inside!”, then change the subject or simply walk away. The tower was there, but the people never really gave it much thought, and the days passed in Mitharis without change.
Occasionally, however, someone would grow very interested in it. Treasure hunters, adventure seekers, or those just looking for a change in the monotony of their lives would begin asking everyone about it, finding out everything they could about the tower. And then, when they either were fed up with questioning or simply impatient, they set off on the journey for the tower. These curious souls were soon forgotten by the townspeople, and they did not return. It was considered a curse to go journeying to the tower, and the saying “Going to the tower” began to be used as another way of saying “death”. Yes, people tended not to dwell on the tower or its seekers, yet in the back of everyone’s mind lay the question of what the tower really was. Indeed, the townsfolk had guesses. But no one knew for sure.
