But this isn't the only Tower within the Fortress. It's more of a main Tower, which has an entrance and connects the other five Towers that are located around it. Each of the Towers has its own purpose. One Tower was the Stronghold of the Elven priests; it was where they were trained, and where they worshipped the Gods (screenshot #1). Inside, we met an Elven priestess who asked us to free the souls of her brothers and sisters, which were located on the upper floors of this Tower. And so we did (screenshots #2, 3, 4). Entering the second Tower, where warriors were trained, we found an Elven warrior (screenshot #5), who also asked us to kill her soldiers. So we cleared out a couple of floors, and when we climbed to the roof, where the hippogriffs were kept, we found spiders (screenshot #6). In this same Tower, on the last floor (before the roof), we came to a bridge (screenshot #7), which led to the neighboring Tower (most likely the 3rd Tower, which was blocked off). This was the Tower of Mages. Inside, we found a library (screenshot #8). And on the top floor, we found the Elven mage and the ruler of this Fortress, now a cursed Lich (screenshot #9). He told us about the past, when they were allied with the Dwarves and fought against the forces of darkness. Together, they created powerful artifacts. But over time, the Dwarves decided to profit from them and offered to sell the artifacts to other peoples, the people of the north, and others. The Elves refused this, because who knows who these things with immense power might end up with. And so it happened; one day, Orcs appeared in these lands, and they had that very weapon with them, which the Dwarves and Elves had created together. The battle was fierce, and the Elves accused the Dwarves of selling the artifacts behind their backs, and they ended up in the wrong hands, and now things are a mess; the enemy has a powerful weapon and is attacking them. After this quarrel, the alliance was broken. Meanwhile, the enemy continued to advance, approaching the Stronghold. And when the enemies were at the Tower, the Elven ruler decided to try to save his people and took a risk. He and his mages began to recite a very powerful protection spell, and when they finished it, they realized that a mistake had been made. Instead of salvation, destruction occurred. Everyone in the Tower became ghosts, and the dead turned into undead! The king himself became a Lich. And now they are trapped in their Fortress. But by finding the parts for their machine, he was able to start it up again and free everyone who had been cursed (although I don't know if this is true; we didn't check, but immediately teleported to the city... maybe he disappeared too, or maybe he's still there)...
Oh yes, the first time we just talked to him, but we didn't have all the parts, so we decided to clear out the other Towers. We weren't so lucky with the fourth Tower; when we climbed the stairs, we found that they led nowhere; the Tower was destroyed (I don't remember what it was intended for). The fifth Tower was luckier; it was intact. Honestly, I don't remember its purpose either; maybe it will be clear from the screenshots. Perhaps it was something like a headquarters. On the first floor, there was a hall with benches (screenshot #10). On the second floor, there was also a large hall, in the center of which stood a model of the area and a battle depicted on it (screenshot #11). Most likely, the battle plan was developed here. At the end of the room, on the wall, there was a map. On the top floor, we found a garden. There was a ghost of a druid, who asked us to bring him clean water, plant seeds, and an animal, so that he could revive this garden (screenshot #12). But as soon as we fixed the mages' machine, we immediately teleported from there... maybe we'll visit him sometime later, if we find what he's looking for.

And yes, now we have a journey to the Dwarven Fortress ahead of us.

Be strong. Believe
