The Ice Tower
Standing at the head of a great glacial flow that has broken free from the Stoneheart Ice Plateau is the Accursed Ice Tower of Kal-Tior. The tower serves as home and siege tower of Kal-Tior the warlock, herald of Count Perfidium of Kainus, a high prince in the Court of the Nine Hells.
The tower itself is guarded by a nest of soulless ice goblins and a tribe of frost giants who pledge their allegiance to Count Perfidium.
The flow of the glacier, with the tower at its head, moves slowly but surely, and has now nearly reached The Plains of Waymarch. From here, Kal-Tior will turn the direction of his infernal tower toward the Grimburg. Once there, he intends to freeze the gnomish prison vault solid and smash it to pieces to free those held within.
The tower’s movements are controlled by blood sacrifice, and thus far its progression has been fed by the sacrifice of ice gnomes and captured Rhemish plainsmen from the grasslands of Waymarch south of Eamonvale.
The last few hundred miles are going to require greater sacrifices, however, and Kal-Tior has called upon his master for the assistance of ice devils, more frost giants, and any other help that can be offered to begin his assault on Grimburg.
