Landmarks

The Dossal Gate

The Crystal Tower's sole entrance. In places of worship belonging to the Church of the First Light, the Exedra was uniformly overseen by an alter, thus this gate's metaphorical association with the alterpiece.

The Twinning

“

Since its sudden appearance in Norvrandt, the Crystal Tower has been a source of great mystery, one which the people of the Crystarium have barely begun to unravel. Now that the city is free from the threat of the Lightwardens, researchers have been afforded the opportunity to explore the innermost reaches of the tower, though they soon found their way barred by hordes of ferocious guardians. An aetherial disturbance detected from inside is believed to be in some way linked to their appearance, and you have been tasked with not only clearing a path for the researchers, but with investigating the cause of the anomaly.

The Syrcus Tower

“

The soaring centerpiece of the city. The Crystal Tower is home to the Ocular, which serves as the Exarch's office, as well as the Umbilicus, a chamber filled with devices for controlling the spire's functions. It also houses numerous relics of a powerful and dangerous nature, and none are permitted to wander the structure without the Exarch's express permission.

Spagyrics

“

More than just a simple infirmary, Spagyrics boasts the facilities for mixing its own medicinal tonics and tinctures, as well as training neophyte chirurgeons. Those familiar with alchemical processes will recognize the name from a procedure for separating and recombining a concoction's primordial elements.
