West Marches Original Dungeons and Dragons - Hex 015.017 - Ruined Sky-Tower


General
North-West on the map you can see here, the hex is south of 015.016, where there is an altar of Tizan. This hex was an ancient center of governement from a previous empire (the Magus). A huge tower up to the sky. Now it's all destroyed and has been looted numerous time.

Description
North-west of the hex there is a road going towards the south-west. It reaches a splitting point near hex 014.017 and 014.018. East of that, on top of a small hill, there is a huge ruins of a tower that's smashed to the ground, leaving behind a long trail of rocks. The tower is of Magus design and was probably high enough to touch the sky. Around the tower, the air is damp, heavy and feels unnatural. At night, this feeling is even worse.

There is a small trail going south-east up the hills/mountain of hex 016.018.
