Cerulea Tower

Cerulea Tower was once a majestic and revered structure, known for housing Abericlase, one of the six Goddess Stones. The loss of Abericlase's power has transformed the tower from a beacon of light into a dark and perilous place, now infested with monsters and undead creatures. The doors are only opened once a year during the great pilgrimage to prevent the evil from escaping into the world.

Design

The grand entrance hall is now a shadow of its former glory. Broken statues and shattered remnants of magical artifacts litter the floor. The walls are lined with faded tapestries depicting the history of the Goddess Stones.

Denizens

The living quarters for the tower's caretakers and scholars are now decrepit and haunted by the spirits of those who perished when the stone went dark. Personal belongings and remnants of daily life give a glimpse into the tower's past. Although most spirits are not evil, there are some who wish for the secrets of the tower to remain hidden.

Hazards & Traps

Abericlase Hall: This was the central chamber where Abericlase was housed. A grand pedestal still stands at the center, but the stone itself is now dark and cracked. The room is filled with an oppressive, lingering darkness, and the air is thick with a sense of loss and despair. 
Within the halls lies the library which was a vast repository of magical knowledge; however, it is now in ruins. Books and scrolls lie scattered, many of them damaged or defiled. Dark, spectral entities are known to haunt this area, guarding whatever knowledge remains.
Further in various laboratories were used for magical research and experimentation. These rooms are now dangerous, with lingering magical traps and experiments gone wrong. Alchemical supplies and broken apparatuses are strewn about and alchemical creatures roam the rooms, barely clinging to life.

Architecture

The tower stands tall and imposing, made of a unique blue stone that glows faintly in the moonlight. Its surface is adorned with intricate carvings and runes that once pulsed with magical energy but now appear dull and lifeless. The tower reaches several stories high, with narrow, slit-like windows that provide limited visibility into its interior. The area around the tower is desolate and overgrown with twisted vegetation, a stark contrast to its once-pristine grounds. An eerie mist often lingers around the base, adding to its ominous atmosphere.

Environmental Effects
