Roost

Description

Founded: ???

This tower, sitting high atop a hill overlooking the forest south of Crooked Post, once went be a different name: Elision. People generally know that name due to the barely readable facades crumbling along the exterior of the tower. No one has called it Elision in as long as most can remember, however. Now, the tower has earned a name more befitting its current occupants. Hundreds of Griffons call the tower home; hundreds of mean-spirited, constantly-hungry, vicious Griffons. They harass the hills near Queen's Meet, devouring horses and travelers alike when they can get them, though they mostly fish out of Griffon's Gulf.

There are legends about a mage cabal that once used the tower to study far off worlds, but most people in Core Vandal pay Roost only as much mind as it takes to avoid it. Most non-addled individuals understand the Griffons did not built the tower, but the interest in where it came from died long ago. Now it's just another decrepit ruin infested with monsters.

And it's not just Griffons. The people of Queen's Meet have seen Kobolds moving in and out of the tower, seemingly ignored by the Griffons. Locals say the two have a pact but what use a Kobold could offer a Griffon is beyond anyone's understanding.
