The Whispering Tower
The Whispering Tower is in the Crimson District of Ravenspire and serves as the city’s most important communication hub. In times of need, the tower and its catacombs serve as a gathering point for the population of Ravenspire.
Architecture & Design
The tower, built in 795 SA, stands tall at the center of the Crimson District, with the central marketplace surrounding it. While the building itself was constructed out of the typical blackstone blocks, it features delicate carvings and filigree, showcasing arcane runes and symbols related to communication. From the inside, the walls are adorned with magical runes, to ensure that secret messages stay secret within the walls of this tower.
At the summit of the tower, a massive bronze bell hangs suspended. Its dulcet chimes resonate across the city with every swing. This bell serves as a beacon, signaling important announcements and summoning citizens to gather during attacks or other dangerous events.
Within the tower’s spacious chambers, a network of magical communication devices operates tirelessly. Enchanted mirrors, crystal orbs, and speaking tubes connect the tower to key locations throughout Ravenspire, facilitating swift and secure communication between important individuals and organizations.
The Whisperers
The Whispering Tower houses a guild of skilled messengers known as the “Whisperers.” Clad in dark hooded cloaks and gloves adorned with ethereal patterns, these enigmatic couriers are experts in discreet and secure message delivery. They can traverse the city’s labyrinthine streets with uncanny speed and deliver messages to even the most remote corners of Ravenspire.
Their services are affordable, and therefore, they are the preferred method of message delivery within the city. Especially because of their task to deliver Government and other official messages, guardsmen usually don’t control the messengers if they have their official signs and the guild crest on them.
