Joron-Tun

Joron-Tun, standing alone on a small island at the northern edge of Leviathan Bay, was once a vital lookout tower for the Terosian navy. The tall structure offered sentries an unbroken view across the water, watching for enemy ships that might dare to enter the bay. Now, however, it is little more than a haunting silhouette against the horizon. Most of the tower has collapsed, leaving only the lower levels intact, their stone walls weathered by salt and sea winds.
The ruins are overgrown with creeping vines and moss, and only a few fragments of stone carvings remain to hint at Joron-Tun’s former grandeur. A spiral staircase, still remarkably intact, winds up through the crumbling stonework, offering a precarious path to a vantage point near the top. From there, the view over Leviathan Bay remains spectacular, though few dare to linger long in this forsaken place. The air is heavy with the tang of salt and decay, and the winds howl mournfully through the gaps in the stone.
Abandoned for decades, Joron-Tun has become a place shrouded in eerie quiet, but its isolation and desolate appearance have made it the perfect meeting point for those who wish to avoid prying eyes. Smugglers and shady merchants occasionally use the ruined tower as a secret rendezvous point, gathering under cover of darkness to exchange goods or information. The island’s steep, rocky shoreline makes landing dangerous, but small boats can still approach if handled with care. A few half-hidden footpaths lead up from the shore, winding through thorny bushes and treacherous rocks.
The Peacekeepers know of Joron-Tun’s use as a smuggling hideout but have largely left it alone, deeming it too remote to bother with. The smugglers, in turn, are careful not to draw too much attention to the tower, keeping their visits brief and their gatherings small.
Yet Joron-Tun’s greatest secret may be the unseen currents that swirl around its base. Old records suggest that underwater caves run beneath the tower, their entrances hidden among the submerged rocks. These caves, largely unexplored, are said to be treacherous, with powerful tides and jagged walls.
