Keeper of the Tower of the Fall
Overview
The Keeper of the Tower of the Fall is an Urizen Imperial title created following an announcement in Autumn 378YE by the Crystal Architect of the Spires. The position of Custodian is a sinecure, requiring minimal responsibility but offering a regular income of crystal mana.
During the Spring Equinox 380YE, a plague of crystal-eating vermin saw the Senate commission white granite wards to help protect the Tower, which had the unexpected outcome of adding additional production to the sinecure.
During the 381YE Druj invasion of Zenith, the Tower of the Fall was destroyed by orc invaders.
During the Autumn Equinox 385YE the Senate voted to reconstruct the Tower of the Fall following the appraisal presented during the Winter Solstice 384YE that saw it take advantage of the damage done by the Druj, including harnessing the stable Winter regio. Work was completed shortly before the Winter Solstice 385YE.
