Tower of Blight Geographic Location in Gates of Eternity | World Anvil

Tower of Blight

Tower of Blight is a domain of Plague, Imperial Goddess of Pestilence, Plague, Rot and Mold.. It is located within a broken realm of Gehenna, and, by extension, afterlife of Imperial Religion. As such its exact location is hard to discern, for it exists in a place when space and time are - to a point at least - foreign concept.   All description of it come from local daemons and Damned, and Chosen of Plague that visited this place. All of them are... rather subjective and very, very imperfect. It is doubtful that Plague would bother herself with making them see some fake representation of her world, so it is believed to be without any notable lies.   Local Dead are rather rare. Most of them are magicians and alchemists that for some reason started working to spread diseases further or just let it happen due to their own conscious mistakes. Plus those that during the plague went insane and started worshipping Plague in hope of granting her favour and surviving.

Geography

Tower of Blight is a horizontally small realm, built mostly vertically. In its very center lies the Tower itself, a massive construction housing overwhelming majority of local daemons and Dead. It starts as one made from moss-covered stone... but as one ascends it, it soon changes. The higher one goes, the more disease-riden the tower becomes. Soon it is full of mold, fungi, filth and decay. Then stone is replaced by organic matter, and before intruder notices, he walks knee deep in mixture of pus, acidic vomits and disease-tainted blood, with even walls around him distorted by pain caused by everpresent sicknesses, with daemons and Plague's Dead prowling the corridors like microbes prowl veins of body they infected.   On a highest level lie the Throne of Pox, upon which Plague sits, surrounded by her court of unspeakable beings, each of them carrying illnesses so virulent that they make the worst diseases of Light pale in comparison, each of them capable of eradicating most of life simply by being allowed to enter the world of the living. Forever waiting for their lady to let them bring most beautiful pox-ridden death into the Light.   Lands surrounding Tower look on first glance as simple recreation of Light, with plains, lakes, rivers and forests. But when comes closer, discovers terrible truth. There are in fact a vast disease-ridden plains where corrupted blood rains from the skies and rivers are filled with liquids best left undescribed. It is dangerous place, forever littered by sludge and other wastes excreted by living and breathing Tower in its midst, where only the most powerful beings can somehow survive for even a while.
