Tower of the Clouds
The tallest structure in Pendril often pokes out above the fog that blankets the city in early morning. Located on the highest point in the city, a small, roundish hill that has had its sides scraped into steep walls, reinforced with blocks of limestone, the tower itself is made of an ebony stone. The stones, cut into hexagons, seeming have no mortar holding them in place. Instead, local lore states that each is placed with such precision that each holds the others in place. Standing at least a hundred feet in the air, it is impossibly thin, merely 20 feet across and no architect to this day has been able to replicate its construction. Still, the tower has existed for centuries and no record of its construction remain.
The tower has no windows, save for one on either side of the small, redwood door at its base. While stories of its interior vary from tavern to tavern, ranging from the luxury of thick Dharjan carpets and heavily scented candles to the mystical tales of floating globes of light, the truth is that one can never seem to find a person who has actually been inside the tower. It is known, however, that the FIve Masked Lords reside within, exerting their influence over the city and pursuing whatever dark agenda they might have in mind.
