## fun lore

The Fun Tower was originally built as ''Túr an Dúil'' (Tower of Desire) 1400 years ago by the Irish architect Nicholas O'Farrelly, a famous architect in his times. He was well known for having planned most of Dublin's buildings and being the son of the richest noble in the town, Donagh O'Farrelly. They were both from the family O'Farrelly, founded 1700 years ago. This family highlighted distinct achievements, such as the defeat of the Dark Dragon, the foundation of Cork and having saved millions of Irish from dangerous diseases, with their best medics. Nicholas, by the time he was 10, started admiring architecture and how buildings were created from somebody's imagination and creativity. He saw different patterns on different cities' buildings and inspired from them by making a mix of Cork's buildings and some other designs he had in mind. That is how he created Dublin's architecture. When he was 15, he entered the Irish National Institute of Architecture, where he had the best grades in his entire class, and surpassed everybody in skill. When he was 17, he already finished academy and began working as an architect, with 3 other people: Milo O'Kearny, Thomas Malone and Denis Lennon. Unlike Nicholas, they didn't come from noble families, and their parents worked as farmers. He became friends with these last 3 people and cooperated with them in order to have the best design Ireland had to see yet. He started by inspiring from Cork's buildings, built by Paddy Troy, one of the best architects of Ireland 1500 years ago. He added some stone bricks to Paddy's designs, and created Dublin's architecture, competing with Cork's. Nicholas decided to add more decoration to the buildings so that they would look nice, and he succeeded, making Dublin one of the most beautiful cities in the country. This was done when he was only 25. At the age of 27, he had a dream where he, described in his book ''Mo Aisling'' (My Dream), was falling from a big tower, and while has falling he saw different people riding dragons, cities attached to the tower, and described it as an 'amazing journey'. It was neverending, a voyage without an end. As he spoke with his partners, he decided to recreate what he saw in his dream, to build a neverending tower. At least, a very tall tower. It was going to be a very hard work, but he saw hope on what would become the tallest tower in the world. He requested the mayor of the city to build it, and surprisingly enough, the request got accepted. He couldn't remember exactly how his dream was, but the described the tower as a simple tower. With stonebricks surrounding it and logs on the sides. He drew this and used it as a reference as to how to make the tower. He faced different problems, such as the wind's strength, which he eventually solved by strengthening the base. The building of the tower took 10 years. 8 years in the building's construction Milo died of a cardiac arrest, while Denis faced familiar problems and resigned from architecture as a whole. Thomas died 12 years later from the building's construction, while Nicholas lived till the age of 57, leaving the tower as his most important legacy.

As the years passed, 50 years later, a festival around the Tower of Desire was done to commemorate Nicholas' biggest achievement. 60 years later, the Dublin Peasant Protest happened, with masses of people protesting against the government's harsh reforms to the agricultural sector. The Tower of Desire became one of the peasant movement most loved structure, because of some rumours appearing saying that the Tower of Desire was real and fulfilled your desire. 120 years later, the Irish Civil War happened, leaving some of the city destroyed, except the Tower of Desire, which was left intact. After the Civil War, the High Gaelic Council, rebels in the Civil War, took the country, and renamed the Tower of Desire to ''Túr Jake'' (Jake Tower) in honor for Jake Guinness, the leader of the High Gaelic Council. The Second Irish Civil War began 40 years later, defeating the HGC and restoring peace in Ireland. The tower was renamed back to 'Tower of Desire', and a long peace period in Ireland began. In this peace period, 500 years after the tower's construction, a philosopher at the time, Michal Power, questioned why the tower wasn't inspired in Nicholas' book 'My Dream'. There was a lot of controversy to this question, leaving the question of 'What if we fully recreated Nicholas' dream unanswered for a long time. Centuries passed, and nothing really happened on this tower, until, 800 years later from the tower's construction, a man by the name of Andrew MacKiernan thought of Power's idea with science. Using his physics knowledge, he discovered that it was possible to build a city attached to the tower in the sky, but it would be risky at times. Many architects wanted to take this idea because of it's possibilities, and MacKiernan's scientific article became famous worldwide. The development of a new city in the tower began, with many architects collaborating to fulfill Nicholas' dream. Tom MacCoghlan, one of the main architects of this idea, designed new buildings and structures for the tower, but saying that the height pressure might affect the residents. This turned out true, leaving from the bottom point to the bottom half of the building as capable of harboring people. The king of Ireland, Odhran XI, decided to rename the 'Tower of Desire' to ''Túr Spraoi'' (Fun Tower) because of the fun he had while visiting it. Many people disagreed with this, but later coped about it. The construction of the bottom half finished after 25 years and after 70 years, the top half began development, creating a temple near the peak. 15 years later, the top half was finished, completing Fun Tower's reform, inaugurated a year later. The bottom half started to habitate, reaching up to 10.000 people living in the bottom half, later named ''Coluntheas'' (Southern Pillar), divided in 3 sections, Lower Coluntheas, Middle Coluntheas and High Coluntheas. The top half, left unnamed, was divided in 2 sections: the Grass Cliff and the Temple.
