[hider=Lore: The Five Towers] Many ages ago, back when the world was still young, the Ancients constructed five towers: one in the center of the continent, and one for each of the four corners of the land. Each tower rose so high, they were thought to have touched the clouds. Beneath their impossibly smooth, adamantine surface lies the power of a star, and in times of crisis, each tower can defend the continent with a vast, impenetrable shield and weapons of unimaginable destructive power. No one knows what the towers were constructed to fight against, and they have never been used since their creation. [/hider] [hider=Lore: The Dragon's Tooth] Hidden deep within a dormant volcano near Westhaven Tower, there lies a legendary sword rumored to be sharp enough to cut through diamond as if it were butter, yet utterly unbreakable with an edge that never dulls. Many have perished climbing up the treacherous mountain slopes, and those who survive perish still when the volcano makes her periodic eruptions. Hence, to date, no one has ever succeeded in obtaining the blade. Some say it was placed there to serve as a test for prospective heroes who would dare wield its power, but a few sages believe it's more likely a sick joke by the gods to taunt gullible men into pointless deaths. With the advent of magic, it may now be possible for men to acquire the weapon. The only question is...should they? [/hider]
