The center point of trade and commerce on the southern tip of the Mainlands, Galetide is known to ever being who travel to lands. Merchant ships who travel from the western Marble Coast to the eastern shores of Kartha always make port at Galetide for supplies, rest, and even to barter it wares. As such, the city of Galetide has grown and prosper, but an air of mystery still shrouds within its walls that attract adventurers to it.
At the heart of the city is the ruins of a tower from the First Age. In that time, it believed to be a beacon to the merchants and a watchtower against it's foes. The tower was said to touch the skies, and reach high into the heavens. It was during chaos of the Second Age that the tower crumbled to the earth from violent forces that shook the world. Pieces fell to the ground, destroying the ancient city at its base and remnant sunk to the depths of the ocean that surround the island. Since then, the island was devoid of humanity.
During the early years of the Third Age, civilization returned to the island as merchants began forging a route from west to east. The colonization found only the base of the tower, and scholars began discovering again it's purpose. With how high the tower stood, they soon uncover that it pierces equally into the ground, with a network labyrinthine passage and seals passages. Scholars now question the tower's full purpose, yet adventurers come to test themselves in hope to find the treasures locked away.
