Harvess

"Harvess is a small village in the Archduchy of Sovar located in the Gynardan Mountains. The village itself is of little importance, a minor stop along the road. What makes it interesting for travellers is the tower around which the village is build. The Mage Tower of Harvess is a small school that specializes in training wizards. It was founded by Varakh Markand some 500 years ago. Varakh was one of the mightiest wizards of his time and build the tower as a home and place to teach his children in the ways of magic. His son Dorros followed in his father's footsteps and continued teaching magic, not only to his kin, but any who sought to learn. Over the years the Mage Tower has known many highs and lows. Some students turns to the evil ways of necromancy in hopes to gain immortality, others rose to become powerful servants of the realm, advising the king himself and defeating kingdom's greatest enemies. These days anyone who wishes to learn the ways of magic seeks out the tower, but to be taken in one must show great potential." D. Harewood, Fendalian Cartographer
