Tower of Black Flame

Old Knot District in Seregon

The Tower of Black Flame rises into the sky, a dark six-story edifice of stone that stands alone. The abode of a dark sorcerer who is never seen to emerge, the Tower has seemingly always stood here, home to sorcerer after sorcerer. There’s a large door at street level in the bottom of the tower, but no other doors or balconies or lower windows are visible in its black stone sides, and most of the time, the Tower is a place of brooding silence. But sometimes, late at night, eerie witch-lights dance around the Tower’s uppermost floor, and strange flashes flare behind the large windows that ring the top of the Tower.

No one knows much about the current resident, although his name is rumored to be Kelauble or Kelauklyth or perhaps Glaarkyth. Some swear the sorcerer experiments on children, beggars, and visitors to Seregon snatched by night by the strange monsters who serve him; others say he breeds serpents and cares nothing for humans, save as food for his slithering pets. Whatever the truth, all tales agree the sorcerer is powerful, dangerous, and fabulously wealthy—and all of his riches are inside the tower.
