Hightower Tor
The guard tower on Hightower Tor has sat in ruins for centuries. In 1000, while on a mapping expedition, the Cerulean Exploration Society took shelter at the Tor and discovered an entrance recently uncovered by a landslide into the catacombs beneath the Tor. Within the small complex they discovered the abandoned Hightower Tor had become the lair of several creatures over time and recovered a few lost artifacts. In a tomb within the tor, the group disturbed the rest of an undead bugbear. Unfortunately, in the ensuing conflict, one of the party were killed, but the zombie bugbear was defeated and, for now Hightower Tor lies completely empty once more.
Purpose / Function
Hightower Tor was originally a guard tower on one of the failed civilizations on Cerulea. It now lies in ruins.
Architecture
Originally a three level stone tower with adjoining barracks and protective walls surrounding it, the tower itself now lies in ruins. Beneath the towers, built in to the actual tor that it sits on, is a complex of rooms.
History
The origins of the tower and the civilization that built it are lost, though the tower itself has been used by multiple groups and civilizations over centuries until it was finally abandoned centuries ago.
