The First Floor Guard Room
The guard of the first floor has been given this small,
closet-sized room. The first floor guard appears to be a
troll of some occupation. This room is barely big enough for
this troll to live in, and is frequently seen roaming the
hallways instead of staying in his crampt room. The walls of
the room are solid rock, and there are some furs in the corner
for the troll to sleep on. In addition, there are several
corpses of various races that the troll has eaten.

A Poorly-Lit Hallway
This poorly lit hallway is the first glimpse into this enormous tower.
The hallway is poorly lit, with only a few low burning torches, which are
frequently left to burn out. The gates to the tower lies to the south,
while a door is to the east and the hallway continues to the north. The
hallway seems to be a trophy case of different items, mainly those of
scalped barbarians, gnomes, and elves. Additionally, drow-made paintings
have been hung up on the wall for the more intellectual people of the tower.

An Intersection of Hallways
This intersection of hallways occurs almost in the dead center of
the tower. Towards the east and west run a couple small hallways,
while towards the north and south run the main hallway. The stairs
of the tower appear a short ways off to the north. This area seems to
be the most traveled area of the tower. While the low level innitates
of the tower goto their respective rooms on the lower levels, the higher
level raiders march through here daily towards the stairs.

This dark stairwell lies directly north of the main entrance of the
tower and through the hallway. It appears to be the restricting point
for all of the evil human monks and anti-paladins who have joined the
crusade of the evil races. Beyond this point, however, only the larger
trolls, ogres, and others maybe pass. There are several large guards

The Second Floor Foyer
This foyer of the second floor of the great tower is rather plain and
simple. Stairs leading towards the first floor lie dowward, while hallways
intersect at this point. The stairs to the third floor appears a ways
off towards the west. This area is completely made of a hard stone, possibly
granite. There are several muddy foot prints in the surrounding area,
showing the manners of the inhabitants of this tower.
