Rand's Tower

Rand's Tower is the central Omelos home of the demonic Lord Rand. The tower is inverted, buried below a seemingly innocent plain just south of the Dwarven Kingdom. The beasts who thrive in the building should not be too much trouble for a level 20 adventurer, but non-staymortals should beware of the Demon Lord himself.

Rand's Tower
Mapped by Salami, an ExMo,
in the year 352

When Moonglow was just a simple port town, in the days that the dwarven and
elven kingdoms were the major powers on Omelos, Rand was one of the most
powerful mages in the world.  The only things that exceeded his power were
his boldness and his arrogance.  With these he angered many of the
surrounding kings, challenging the traditions of the ages with his powers.
Eventually, he constructed a high tower in a remote and beautiful mountain
valley where he could conduct his research away from the prying eyes of the
public.  He was particularly interested in the demons of the nether spheres,
and called  several to do his bidding, using some as guards for his tower
and others as soldiers in a growing army.  When it became rumored that he'd
actually imprisoned a Lord of the demons in his tower, the nearby kingdoms
banded together and decided to put a stop to his dangerous experiments.
   As the armies advanced on Rand's Tower, the mage  struck a deal with the
demonic powers he sought to control: his soul in exchange for the deaths of
his foes.  In his arrogance, Rand walked outside his tower to watch the
demonic forces decimate his foes when, to his horror, a huge gate opened up
above the valley aout of which molten lava rained down on everything.
Unable to get back inside quickly enough, Rand burned in the lava along with
his enemies, thereby satisfying his end of the deal a little sooner than he
had anticipated.  The demons then were free in the mortal realm to terrorize
people until they were eventually banished to Demon Space years later.
However, rumor has it that Rand's powers were so strong that the Demon Lord
himself is still imprisoned somewhere in the tower, and after all this time,
woe betide the unfortunate adventurer who crosses his path.
