Description
The Archmage Tower rises as a slender spire of white stone in Harlon’s Hill, home to the kingdom’s Archmage - the most powerful wizard serving the crown. The tower’s height allows its occupant a commanding view of Godmere and the surrounding lands, while also providing the isolation necessary for delicate magical research.
The structure’s exterior appears deceptively simple, but close inspection reveals subtle enchantments woven into the very stone. Windows glow with arcane light at odd hours, and the air around the tower often shimmers with residual magic from experiments conducted within.
Unlike the academic atmosphere of the Eldritch College, this tower serves a single master - the royal advisor on all matters magical. Access is strictly controlled, and uninvited visitors find the doors quite impossible to open.
