The Tower of Calmatia

A large tower in the west-southern regions, and a major landmark in the Vestran Territories. The tower emits a powerful field of magic, or rather multiple, of different forms interwoven together. It's been determined to be extremely ancient, though its origins beyond that are unknown. Sections of it seem disconnected from the others, floating around the tower and slowly orbiting.
It even to this day hasn't been fully explored, as the tower is well-known for being extremely dangerous inside. Traps, golems, and more guard the tower's interior, though none of the threats inside have ever been recorded to wander outside of the tower. This danger deters a lot of would-be explorers, but attempts have still been made to delves further and map more of the strange tower, as some of the items found inside are highly unique. Magically powered machines of a like not seen anywhere else in the Riftgrounds.
To most people, however, the tower simply serves as a landmark. It's several hundred feet tall, and the top shines with a soft glow, making it visible for many miles, particularly in the night. This has helped many an explorer and traveler of Vestra's rather wild and untamed lands keep their bearings and avoid getting lost.

History

Extremely little is known about the history of the tower. It seems to be extremely old, certain magical test even indicating it to be one of the oldest things found in the Rifts, but whatever it was built for, and by who, is entirely unknown. Its discovery is also rather old, though not nearly as much so. The glow from its spire acted as a beacon, drawing explorers through the thick forests and several levels of cliffs in the region until they found a path to the tower.
Getting into the tower was another matter entirely, a powerful wizard having to devise a spell specifically for undoing its powerfully enchanted locking mechanisms, and exploring it from there has proved an even slower and more difficult process.
