Umyaday Tower

## Description

A 65 meter tall stone building, with three cilindrical stones, about 30, 25 and 10 meters each, altough this last one seems to be broken in half by a diagonal and then eroded by time. Each floor has four pilars on the outside, each one with some simbols dug in them. The symbols seem to repeat in each column and in each floor, making each colum have 12 symbols. Betwen the south-west column and the north-west column there is an archway, not too fancy-looking, leading inside the tower. There, a pedestal is holding a giant, 1.3 meters thicc, glass sphere. The rest of the interior are just plain conical shaped walls, altough life has started to grow attop the tower. The pedestal's face which is pointing towards the east wall has some steps to climb up to the sphere. Meanwhile, the other end, the one pointing towards the door, has a table written in it.

The Umyaday Tower Tablet, also known as the Hus-Ilaka, is a 2 meter tall clay carving with lots of things in it. It has written the same things in over 15 languages, and other 4 sign-based form of communications that cannot be considered as languages and some drawings. In the 15 forms of languages, ancient Trokme and Ulth, considered to be two of the oldest human languages still in use, are present. They state the tower is 3200-3700 years old, is called "Gjimsua-nuks" (traduced to "blue shine moonlight"), was build by the village of the Graskk, the tablet name is "Hus-Ilaka" (or "our dictionary/language"), it is a shrine and that the building proyects were cancelled after the Graskk were defeated at a certain battle. Archeologist still haven't figured what Graskk language was, as there are other 12 languages excluding the two previous ones. They have tried by comparing them to the ones in the pillars, but they don't seem to match. It also has a 'profecy', written in all 15 languages, but not in the 4 other forms. It says:

*"The darkness will call a hero to fight in favour of the light"*
## Events

Each full-moon, the tower will light itself up. The main importance of this event is the lighting of the tower. As sunset reaches the archway, a cold breeze forces everyone out. Even if you want to stay, you will feel your muscles being moved and walking without knowing it to the open air. Then, when the sun dissapears, a door will start forming out of a blue dust. When the wall is solidified, a small, turqoise light will start emanating from all points of the tower. At midnight, the pillar runes will start shining bright blue, and a blue strip of light coming out from the top of the tower into the skyes, clearing the clouds that may be nearby, reavealing the full moon and its light, coming through the hole, together with the tower's lights makes it an extraordinaryly beautiful event. Also, during all the night, all stones or other metallic objects smaller than 50 pounds will start shining as the tower does. Although the tower only shines at full moons, these stones will remain brighten all nights. Locals call them "MoonTouched".

## History

This land was were the Graskk tribe was formed, flourished, and died. The hill were the tower was built had a U-shape and had a small valley  where most of the houses were build. The Graskk only built one village, and was the one there. Houses were mainly made out of wood, altough some foundations had stones in them. Arround the year 3800 before now, the prince Ruaka was born. That same night, a great fire started, killing two thirds of the population. But suddently, the moon raise and stopped the fire. The new born prince and the remaining villagers were saved attop the hill. 56 years later, when the prince had became king and was about to die, he ordered the construction of a tower to honour the Moon Lord, the god who saved them.

The tower started being build two years later, right after Ruaka's death, the tower building started. It took several generations, as getting "MoonTouched" stones without a place to produce them was very hard, and most of the time was wasted looking for them. They got them, chrused them, and made bricks out of them. Then, they would look at the hundred-years old planes and place the bricks where they belonged.

Arround 3350, a war broke out in which the Graskk were involved. This stopped the tower building at the third floor, while it was planned to be at least five. The last of the wise started building a cristal sphere. His son finished it and placed it inside. After that, the son and the son's son made the clay tablet. The night in which the last Graskk were killed had no night. As the last of them breathed for the last time, the tower started shining very strongly, and closed itself with magic. It also released a luminous ray to the skies. There is an inscription in a nearby rock saying:

*"This night we have killed the Moon's firstborns."*
## Inhabitants

The only inhabitants in the sorroundings are humans and the natural flora and fauna. They are gathered in a small village half a kilometer away from the tower. They are pretty much a normal village, execpt they adore the White-Half Moon Lord. They are a very happy village that hardly has any problems even in winter. It is a very cheerfull and welcoming place, although is a bit sinister in the nights with no moon.

## Trivia

* If you place a pure-metal weapon at one full-moon night, it will become "MoonTouched" and light at nights.
* It is said to contain the Moon Driller, a legendary weapon that powers itself with full moon.
