Editing Setting:Tabula Gloria/Benalor/The Ebony Tower (section)

=The Ruins Today=
Though the Ebony Tower experienced a large brunt from the disaster which ended Benalor, there is not nearly as much magical radiation present there, as with the Wastes of Vashial. Other than the usual array of hostile creatures stalking the mountains, and an occasional Drakonid ambush, explorers and intellectuals alike freely travel between the Empire and the ruins of the Tower today. Some entrepreneurs even tout the ruins as a prime tourist attraction for those traveling east. Despite the relative lack of danger in the trip itself, retinues of soldiers and Battlemages usually accompany those going there. There are many portions of the maze-like subterranae still unexplored by Imperial eyes, perhaps hosting relics of old. There may still be security machines still running in the deep halls, easily able to kill an unsuspecting explorer. There are definitely scores of tiny '''Limmians''' scouring through the ruins, set upon the task of rebuilding the impossibly destroyed facility with whatever they can find. It is usually best to avoid them whilst exploring - one blasted opening you may have walked through before may be sealed by the Limmians by the time you make your way back.

An even greater threat within lies in the mages which were neither killed nor captured during the War of the Colleges. Most of them would likely have died by now, but given many of the forbidden magics practiced by the rogue mages, some of them may have survived to this day, immensely more powerful now than they were during the time of Margurim II. Of course, some of them may have simply reproduced, producing a line of mages taught to harbor hatred for the Empire and its brethren.
