Mountain Tower - Still Image (Patreon)

'The ancient and awe-inspiring form of the Elder folk tower looms on its icy precipice in the distance. After long days trudging through the high mountains in search of the perhaps once magical fortress, you realize the structure has large gouges and holes in its walls, but more importantly, is still out of reach. A deep mountain gorge stands between you and the tower and as you survey the surrounding mountain range, you see there is no clear way up. The questions again ring clear in your mind. Who were these beings that could construct such a building, and how would they ever reach it? And if they built this tower here for a reason, what secrets might it still hold?"

I'm having a lot of fun exploring the idea of the ancient and seemingly long gone Elder Folk, whoever they might be, from my world. As I've stated already, I like to think of them as almost Lovecraftian in nature and I want to try and have their strange architecture reflect that feeling. So, I hope that comes across in this one. 

I hope this location will also be useful to some people in their Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign as a somewhat unique location, or just as a general interesting set piece. But also, this location will be used in an upcoming D&D stream, so I will post about that when it's released for those who might be interested. I know I will be :)

As always, let me know what you think about this location and if you have any cool ideas for the Elder folk race. I will be back to some Curse of Strahd locations next, so stay tuned for them.
