Yggdrasil Isle

A mythical place, reported by various cultures and religions worldwide to be where gods commune with the earth. It is said to exist in the ocean, where the waters are treacherous and unsailable: inhabited by vicious creatures, wracked by unnatural storms and laced with deadly shoals. On the island, there is said to be a great tree, shrine, or both, depending on the specific permutation of the legend. The island is utterly saturated with magic, and is in no particular fixed location, only traceable by those with the need and means of spirit to locate it.  
The oceans surrounding this place, should it reveal itself to adventurers, is indeed protected by a fierce storm, jagged shoals and drake-like sea creatures that threaten to destroy any who would approach. In the eye of the storm, a small, featureless islet juts out of the waves. The islet is dominated entirely by a massive tower in the shape of a smooth-barked tree, bearing a single open entryway. Though the tower is certainly not wood, it is somewhat unlike any natural stone, and it is obvious that magic keeps its great height supported. 
The interior is spartan and sprawling, with nothing other than a set of spiraling stairs that lead upwards. The stairs, much like the tree-tower, appear to be highly stylized and are probably only stable due to arcane influence. They are also enchanted to seem infinite; any who would climb them must persevere, as all forms of natural or magical flight are suppressed. 
If one could climb the endless stairs, they would eventually find a room with three arching doorways: one adorned with vines and trees, one with very precisely measured, plain columns and stones, and one that appears to be made of a strange, unearthly material that mimics the night sky. Behind each is a trial designed to fulfill the gods' preferences of nature, civilization or arcana; one of these trials must be attempted to reach the interior shrine.
If the trial can be passed, they are taken to the crown of the tree-tower, where there is a dais and three raised pillars. Prayers are to be given to the gods, and should they be answered, manifestations of the tri-fold nature of the god of law appear to bestow final judgement upon would-be ascendants.
When investigated by the crew of the Gunakadeit, the Asonians present witnessed manifestations as Yoma, Sayel and Tessirade in earthly forms. Cheko saw Toprakana with two attendants, and Ryuji saw three ministers of Taiyo.
