Tower Masters
Siathi are chosen as young children and groomed for the position. Such is the way for all Towers except for the Silver Tower, which is a hereditary position passed down from mother to daughter. It’s Master is the queen. Currently, Lilythayel is its Master. Tower Masters can ascend to their positions once they become adults and become so either after their predecessor has died or retired.
Tower Masters typically live much longer than the average siathi, though it depends greatly on the individual and the time period in which they lived. There was one who served only seventy years while one of the earliest Masters had served for almost five centuries when she finally died. She is the only one to have lived that long, serving as Tower Master for all but twenty three years of that total.
The Towers that dot the landscape of Salcreria are seen as something of a mystery to outsiders. The siathi treat them as living places and as things of reverence.
Non-siathi don’t understand the difference between a tower and a Tower. The difference comes down to linguistics. The two words in Doshann, the siathi language, are different.
Viarseca - a tower
Vyarna - one of the Towers
When written out, the second word has far more emphasis to it than the first. The proper names for the Towers themselves are:
Emerald - Elzodos
Gold - Miorge
Silver - Faste
Jade - Zoduos
Amethyst - Lilme
Obsidian - Questos
Pearl - Lictra
Marble - Moaros
Quartz - Nevouos
Sunstone - Tovreos
Topaz - Pulimeos
Moonstone - Ebeos
Between the years 172-175 Throne City--as well as its Silver Tower--was constructed and the central Five Towers were raised.
The rest of the siathi Towers weren't raised until the year 212. The Emerald Tower was the last one.
