Tanalosho Spire

Description

The Tanalosho Spire stands a thousand feet tall, with intricate engravings that can be spotted from over a mile away. It is surrounded by a broken wall base with many steps leading to a heavy stone door that appears to have been sealed since the first Shogun. Many clans see the site as a point of pilgrimage, to help many people appreciate and understand what is the true center of Tanalosho Desert, and appreciate the true size of the desert.  

Meaning

It is hotly debated if it was constructed by the Fae or the Pantheon, along with its original purpose. Wild speculation surrounds the spire, questioning if it even has a purpose as it has stood there without any hint of contributing anything to the world.   Some clan cults regard the site as the place where the Gods will return and bring the whole of the world back under their rule.  

History

Three attempts have been logged to attempt to penetrate the spire, all having no return. No one dared to try after the third attempt that is known. Nothing is known about the contents of the spire as any attempts to teleport inside, peer inside, or send messages inside have failed.   One of the expeditions was financed by the Shogunate, and the two other by adventurous Tanalosho folk wishing to find relics to sell to Nakarado   No rules or laws ban any attempt to enter the structure, but it is regarded as a suicidal, one way trip to even enter the tower.

Legend

It is recognized that the doors open once every century on the summer solstice, and closes by nightfall. Nobody reportedly has ever returned, but the history suggests there are treasures buried since the time of the Gods.
