The Maps of Myrist

The Tower of Frozen Shadow is at once grotesque and hauntingly beautiful. It is built upon the second of the Icy Fingers in the Iceclad Ocean. Constructed in the recent past by some nefarious being, the tower extends upwards into the silver-lined clouds that mar the southern Sky of Velious. The giant structure is a marvelous and awe-inspiring sight to behold, but it is in no way perfect in its construction. Composed of shadow and ice, the tower is frozen and melded together with the creative, well-placed use of magic. Its appearance is asymmetrical, featuring jagged edges that strike outward from the smooth oval-shaped base.

The outside of the tower appears to have no visible entrances or exits, as no doors or windows adorn the exterior walls. Upon the base of the tower, hidden beneath two enormous obsidian spikes, is a carving of a doorway that arches fifteen feet upwards, leading to a wavering wall of ice and shade. The interior of the tower is constructed of the same magical material as the exterior, with similar sharp, jagged edges.

The interior of the tower is shrouded in darkness. Sparsely placed candles provide the only light within rooms that house species of uncommon creatures known only to exist within the tower's walls. Some claim that they are, along with the tower, the creations of Tserrina and Vhal`Sera. Among these creatures are various undead, such as ghouls, skeletons and a few ghosts. The undead are the eternally tormented souls of Tserrina's victims who have been trained to mindlessly fight for their Mistress.
