high castle elves

Twisted Tower, this famous name, is almost a must-see in the history books of elves.

..... After the great subsidence, Rose, the Spider Queen, who successfully occupied the Pit Demonic Network and became the Lord of the Bottomless Abyss, slowly recovered her strength, and she began to viciously prepare for a counterattack on the surface.

The Twisted Tower, as the beachhead of the underground dark elves' final stubbornness and counterattack against the surface, was once built on the surface and served as a stronghold for the counterattack. In order to build and preserve it, the drows fought repeatedly and for a long time with the surface creatures. war.

But unfortunately, after going through the Crown War and many wars with the surface, the drow still failed. As a landmark building for counterattacking the surface, the Twisted Tower also became a ruin, and only later did the Valley of Shadows appear.

Until now, there are still many drow who fled to the surface in the ruins of the Twisted Tower...

But they are different from the Dathra Sisterhood. The evil drow who live there do not escape because they yearn for goodness and the surface, but they cannot stay underground, or they live nearby for the purpose of killing.

Criminals who were exiled by their families, female drow who failed in family struggles, and "heretics" who believe in other evil gods... They live in the ruins of the Twisted Tower on the surface, bringing another threat to nearby surface creatures. A terrifying nightmare, somewhat like the Valley of the Drow.

Moreover, most of the evil drow living there are the sons of Faith Rose - the masked king who tried to overthrow the female-dominated drow social system and become the new main god of the drow, Velen, the God of Conspiracy!

Even Ivan Sally, who used to be Velen's defected priest, also took up the advanced profession of his followers, the Mask of the Night!And after she changed her faith, the masked king did not take back any of her professional skills.

Perhaps it was because the two brothers had joined forces to resist their mother that Velen acquiesced to Evansally's existence even after she cut her all the way from near the Twisted Tower into the deep forest.

I have to say that chaos has been so funny since ancient times. I didn’t expect you to be like this, Evan Sally.

Therefore, the existence of the Twisted Tower is a taboo and must be eliminated for both surface creatures and underground drow.

As for this "New Twisted Tower", apart from being full of "twists" in shape, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Twisted Tower on the surface.

It doesn't even have anything to do with the Underdark!

But who would not use this name to name this twisted tower with a specific shape that cannot be described in the language of all living things?

New Twisted Tower, that's what Barbara called it.

The creatures living here believe in an indescribable existence called the "All-Seeing One". It is said that the All-Seeing One bestows them with knowledge, art and wisdom, thus gaining their fanatical worship.

What is even more twisted is that the worship of knowledge and wisdom has seriously distorted their racial nature!

Along the way, Alamir saw cavemen and ogre magicians discussing arcane issues. Outside the tavern, human bards and orc shamans were arguing with each other over a certain section of a certain song, and as a drow The frail goblin who was a slave actually put on a mage robe and was followed by several female drow magic apprentices! !

What a twisted world this is! !

And the distortion of the distortion tower is more than that.

The underground creatures like this tower are invisible, which protects the Twisted Tower from attacks by creatures in the Underdark. This reminds Alamire of the Elven Mysteries.

It is said that this twisted tower can only be seen by "certain" people such as Alamir except for the invitation of the tower owner. Alamir expressed his admiration for the power of this "knowledge of all things" from the bottom of his heart.

Everything here is incompatible and distorted with this world. Evil creatures become polite and kind here, so this place has become a settlement of the rare "good" camp in the Underdark. In this Underdark, where darkness is everywhere , this place is full of light, and this group of underground creatures living here enjoy it very much!

For the drow who live here, may the light shining on your head no longer be a vicious curse, but a beautiful blessing.

"Praise the billions of radiances, may his light shine..." Along the way, everyone who saw the Mind Flayer shouted blessings and praises enthusiastically and devoutly.

No wonder Barbara, a follower of Eilistraee, once expressed a certain degree of affection for this twisted tower. Who would have thought that there would be such a twisted existence in the evil underground? .

Out of consideration for the Mind Flayer's mind investigation, Alamil did not say the "weird" words in his heart. Looking at the "hospitality" in front of him, who seemed to be a kind creature, and seeing the mind flayers of his descendants, Alamil was deeply moved. I wonder if the other party's nature has also been distorted...

"In fact, just 92 years ago, I had several pleasant meetings with your father Liarden Greenleaf. At that time, I followed the duty of a believer in the All-Knowing One and came to the Dark Territory to build this twisted building. High tower, trying to build a star gate through this high tower, calling for the arrival of my lord..." Pointing to a tavern called the Supreme Pleasure, the mind flayer told him with an interesting attitude. He, it was here that he and Liarton drank and exchanged "wisdom".

"...At that time, Liarden had already begun to implement the ancient and great plan, and then went to Nesad City alone. Under the guidance of our lord, we exchanged skills in magic and art. , I obtained the myth-locking skills of the ancient elves, and he obtained some ancient legends about the star realm."

"...Now that I think about it, it's such a wonderful memory, praising billions of radiances!" The Mind Flayer began to talk about him and Li while showing Alamir and his party around this twisted town. Arden's "friendship".

Marching in the town under the Twisted Tower, cavemen, goblins, dwarves, and even mind flayers saw Twisted Spasm and his party, and they all got out of the way and saluted Alamir and his party.

"It wasn't until I met Riyaden that I realized how great and unfathomable my lord is, and how pious the goblins are. His wisdom and knowledge helped me a lot." Mind Flayer There were no pupils, and the white eyeballs stared back at Alamire, with a tone of voice after meeting an old friend by chance, which made the elf's hair stand on end.

"Praise..." Alamir was stared at. He subconsciously wanted to pronounce the name according to the other party's beliefs, but was blocked by an inexplicable force.

"As my Lord's most beloved family member in this world, every call you make may attract His attention, even if it is the name of one of His incarnations, but for the sake of your companions and me, please do not pronounce that name. "

"After all, no one is as blessed as you to be able to get His occasional scattered brilliance..." The Mind Flayer seemed to be a little regretful and jealous. This emotion was keenly captured by Alamir. arrive.

"Blessed?" Alamir looked at the Mind Flayer, as if he had caught something.

"Yes, Riaden is so noble and pious. I am amazed by his wisdom. Unfortunately, compared to you and Barbara, the 'care' he receives is still not enough. You and Miss Barbara's The unique talent makes me jealous." The Mind Flayer sighed.

What a perfect creation. The Mind Flayer turned to look at Barbara. Only then did Alamir understand that what this person was sighing about before might not be talking about the "underworld tools" they obtained through reverse fighting, but themselves. !

But this way... Alamir became even more confused.

Liarden had indeed been to the Tomb of Alamir, and came to the Dark Area through the secret passage, for a certain "plan"!And the scenes in the Tomb of Alamir may also be related to it! ! !Moreover, did he deliberately "seduce" the mistress of the Zovel family or his own mother, hoping to give birth to a "half-grey elf" that Corellon would curse? ?

After hearing this, Alamir's doubts disappeared a lot, but more doubts were added. At this moment, he felt that the "truth" he had found was just a fog in front of the real "truth".

"What happened later? Did his plan succeed?" Alamir looked at the Mind Flayer and asked anxiously about Liarden's past.

"Later, just 74 years ago, Riaden, who sneaked into Nesad City, launched his plan, and then..." The magic aura on the Mind Flayer's body shone brightly, obviously a little excited.

"He failed and succeeded..."

"Dear Lord of the Twisted Tower, your words are so philosophical, but please be as wise as you to explain to me the reason for all this..." After hearing these words from more than 80 years ago, Allah Myr's heart was in his throat.

Because at that time, it happened to be the time when he and his two masters traveled through time!

"Hehehe, at that time he..."

Poof - the legendary mind flayer's eyes suddenly started to bleed! !

Immediately, his body fell limply to the ground, making a muffled thud, the magic aura on his body dimmed, and the light of psychic energy was extinguished instantly...

He seems to be "dead"...

The instantaneous disappearance of psychic power often represents the death of a psychic. Regarding this, Alamir, whose psychic vision dimmed, is extremely clear about this.
