The tower is a four-level stone tower situated on the northern tip of Landfall in the county of Newhaven. The tower is on a small island, although at low tide it is possible to walk from the island to the mainland.

Background

Garsen's tower was initially in ruin and partially underwater when first investigated by a Guild Party , however the investigation changed the tide of time and prevented the very reason for it being destroyed. It is now in pristine condition and includes it's own 4-armed Iron Golem called Igor as caretaker and guard of the tower. (Scribe Notes)

In 796wk the tower was sold to the Barony of Newhaven and is now frequented by Logan and his guests as a summer retreat. Significant and important decisions and deals are said to be made from the comfort of the tower.

Garsen the Binder

Garsen is the original owner of the Tower. The Adventuring party met him after travelling back in time to 1826 through one of the hidden entrances to his bedroom. At this time, he lived in the tower with his fiancé Orsena. After we warned Garsen of their fates, he managed to prepare himself effectively to defeat his enemies. Garsen since left the tower and moved into the neighbouring forest with his (now wife) Orsena. Newhaven respects his wish for privacy and ensures the area of forest where he lives is generally kept clear of visitors.

Igor the Iron Golem

Igor is dedicated to looking after the Tower, and was left at the tower by Garsen for the benefit of the adventuring party, and now new owners. He has four arms, which can be just as effective in fighting as in cleaning. He has a very fast regenerating ability to repair damage done during combat. Don't get on his wrong side!

Inside the Tower

The following items were found inside the tower, and presumably are still there.

Blood Mirror Portal

Where: 4th Floor of Garsen's Tower. A magical mirror in the tower acts as a portal to the Telen and the surrounding area. The mirror is solid unless your blood touches the surface. At this stage you can push through the mirror into an area somewhere in the vincinity of Telen (it could be 20 or more miles away). You can see an image of the area through the mirror when your blood touches it, and the physical location is unique to each person and does not seem to change. Multiple people can pass through the mirror at one time, with the person who's blood is used defining where the destination location is. It is suspected, but not confirmed, that the specific locations are all somewhere within a few hundred miles of Telen. Destinations are known for the following people:

  • Pierre - Telen Town Square.
  • Etienne - Near the Standing Stones in Telen Forest.
  • Aryan - Beside a Lake.
  • Pym - At the edge of the Telen Forest.
  • Vapour - On a path inside the forest.

Rug Map and Portal

Where: 4th floor of Garsen's Tower. A rug found on the floor in the tower acts as both a magical map and a portal to Telen Forest. The rug shows a map of the Telen area (only the forest?) at the current time. For example, when Ettien's body fell through the mirror, we could see it in the rug. If you touch the map you begin to 'fall' into the area you are looking at. This may be particularly perilous if you do not have some sort of flying or floating spell on, although, without these abilities, we could not test the theory.
