An Ancient Tower
by TJ Trewin
Silas originally wanted to construct the tower near by Falola Plaas , but the local Orubians were enraged at this waste of time and resources for such a grand structure.
Local folk from the Mgongo Mountains helped Silas Okello construct the tower in exchange for his family's service to provide them with knowledge, inventions, and access to the observation deck for as long as the tower stands. This was a fair trade as the challenging terrain of the build site had no suitable access to deliver building supplies from the west; tunnels were made through from the mountains and the stone was used to build the tower.
Ownership of the tower has passed down in the family through the generations and is currently maintained by Feruzi Okello. It is now used heavily for research into the relationship between technology and magic, with inventions being tested in the workshop all the time.
War Research
Among his numerous inventions to help the common people of Melopia, Silas was developing new technology for horrific weapons of war in the tower. He tested his murder-machines on the local wildlife.
