The Mage Tower ~ where those who dare to seek out the resident mages of Elmshade may find knowledge and training in the arts of The Arcane and Magic. Starsinger Tower is the home of the enchanting, elven sorceress Arienne Starsinger. It may seem short for a wizard's tower, standing only about 60' high, but it is stout in its construction. Anyone looking at its dark, metallic smooth sides can tell it is of dwarven make, thereby thick and very sturdy. It looks more like a small tower fortress than a wizard's tower, but its strong build and thick sides give added protection to the sorceress. Arienne specializes in enchantments and the natural aspect of magic, also being a skilled alchemist as well as mage. She has been known to tame the wildest of beasts, and uncover some of the most ancient of magics. Her knowledge and determination for wisdom make her one of Elmshade's best guardians. The side of the small hill on which her tower sits boasts an abundance of berry bushes, fruit trees and an amazing variety of natural herbs up and down its slope. A single, black cobblestone path winds its way up the hill to Starsinger Tower's door. Spaced evenly in bunches on either side of the walkway are very rare black roses and a strange, feathery silver grass, neither of which look native to the area. |
