Ancient Spire of Heaven

**Ancient Spire of Heaven** (古代の天の尖塔) is the guild headquarters of Errat Mortalitas.

## Background

During the early days of Errat Mortalitas, one of the guild's members had found information on a dungeon said to be a recommended spot for players in the range of level 40-70, making it the perfect place for a good majority of the at-the-time members to grind. However, after a while of using the area as a farming ground for experience, the guild eventually decided to conquer it as their base at the joking suggestion of Kinzokeshi, before he logged off for the day.

## Chronology

Four years prior to the story's beginning, Errat Mortalitas, newly formed and in search of a Guild Base, heard news of a dungeon in the mountains; one that, while being a good spot for players within the level-range of 40~70 to grind, was difficult to approach due to the never-ending blizzard surrounding it.

## Layout & Features

### Surface

The outside of the Ancient Spire of Heaven is a treacherous, mountainous region that is under the effect of a constant blizzard that pushes around glass-like glass shards, as well as blunt balls of hail, perpetually dealing both piercing, slashing and bludgeoning damage to those attempting to brace the weather, unless they have resistance or immunity to these effects. There is a certain perimeter around the Spire, about 30 meters in every direction, where the blizzard is mysteriously not present, at which point a path is revealed that leads to the main entrance to the tower. Aside from this, the exterior of the Spire is fairly bare-bones, with the only notable features and decorations present being several statues of angels and goddesses.

### Subterranean Floor (Floors -1~-2): The Topsy-Turvy

An underground area beneath all other floors of the Spire that was created artificially by members of Errat Mortalitas, set to be a prison to trap players trying to enter the Spire, one that would be impossible to escape for most, especially after having to get through both the blizzard and the monsters stationed outside. In fact, it worked so well that some members of Errat Mortalitas who wound up in there for one reason or another would find themselves stuck, which would eventually be the main cause for the creation of the Gem of the New Order. However, it was later remodeled after certain NPCs kept wandering into it.

They are the only floors in the Spire that are physically connected and do not possess a Transmission Monument.
