The Tower of Friendship stands as a testament to the unusual alliance between two powerful mages: a human and an elf, in Aqshy. Both mages sought a place to continue their studies and forge alliances that could shape the future of the Mortal Realms. In a rare bond of cooperation, they joined forces with the Seraphon, a mysterious and ancient race of lizardmen, who were led by their wise and powerful Slann Lord, Oxa'Laku.
The mages and their Seraphon allies together built the Tower of Friendship on a remote mountain peak, a place where they could share knowledge and magic across their distinct cultures. The tower was not just a structure but a symbol of their unity, an experiment in the potential of magic and mutual respect between different races. For many years, it thrived as a center of learning, a place of harmony where arcane wisdom flowed freely.
However, this peace was not to last. The Tower's location, while perfect for study and seclusion, made it an easy target for the forces of destruction. Giants and Orruks, driven by malice and greed, launched repeated attacks on the Tower. These monstrous forces sought to breach the powerful defenses surrounding the mages' sanctuary, driven by their desire to either destroy or conquer the ancient building.
Despite the combined magic of human and elven mages, the constant onslaught of attackers proved too much. At the same time, the Volcano Esmir Seraphon awoke to life, in an effort to save himself and his allies, they turned to their ancient magic and transformed their forms into stone statues to withstand the heat of the magma and erected a barrier around the tower against the invaders. Their noble sacrifice saved the tower from destruction, but it also left the once-living Seraphon trapped in their new, immobile forms.
As time passed, the pressure from the constant assaults became unbearable. The mages, realizing that their continued presence would only put their friends' statues in further jeopardy, ultimately made the painful decision to leave the Tower of Friendship behind. They departed, leaving behind a legacy of collaboration and the memory of their fallen Seraphon allies.
Today, the Tower remains as a silent monument to the unity between the mages and the Seraphon, with only the stone statues of the Seraphon standing watch, guarding the remnants of a forgotten alliance.
