A lonely tower

The tower of Naver Mor is mostly known within the coastal settlements located on the western Åtravían shoreline. It is located on a relatively small island. Most have heard of it, few have actually seen it, and only a handful have stood in front of its imposingly large double doors.
Interesting and rather frustrating is the fact that the doors do not have any apparent keyhole: they are only covered with flowery circles that has been inscribed on their smooth surface. And no matter how much force one put on them, they do not seem to bulge. So what exactly can be found within? Nobody knows for sure, but what one can be sure of, is that one can find theories about this topic in any of the coastal settlements, the other more colorful and amazing then the last.

The words.

A few of these theories touches upon the words that are inscribed above the double doors, on the arched door frame. Is there a hidden meaning behind them, or are they just something its owner and presumed builder followed? Is it a clue on how to open the doors, or do they speak of what can be found within? None but the inscriber would know for certain. And that person is long since dead, as far as anyone is aware.
And then there are those who are of the opinion that the words are wrongly translated, and do their best to find an possibly better translation of the motto. Sadly, the language it is written on has not been spoken in centuries, if even that.

The name

The name of Naver Mor goes back centuries but its origin has been obscured by time. Maybe it was the name of the one who built and lived in it. Maybe it was once the name of the relatively small island where it stands. It has been able to survived thanks to the word of mouth and by being written down in one or another diary or in scholarly notes.

Purpose / Function

These days, the Tower of Naver Mor act as a landmark for sailors. Something that many sailors remark upon, is that the tower appears visible from large distances, something that should not be possible when you see it up close. These sightings are not constant, however, and it seems to irregularly appear and disappear from view.

Architecture

The entire tower is built from large smooth blocks of stone that has a light forest green shade to them. It is circular in shape and about as wide as wide as four farm horses standing behind each other. Its roof ends abruptly in a flat surface as if some giant had severed a section of with a powerful sword swing. Its height is believed to be between 60 and 80 meters, with some swearing that the tower changes height every now and then. It is unknown if the building has an underground complex. If so, it is most likely located underneath the ocean floor.

A helping light.

Something that sometimes catches weary sailors who need to find land quickly, a strange orange light can be seen from Naver Mor, despite it not having any known windows. This phenomena is rare though and those who haven't seen it just take it strange hallucination from drunken sailors.
