Places: Smerrol's Tower

Standing atop the Great Climb overlooking the town is a thick tower of black basalt rising to a further height of 150 feet. The base of the tower measures approximately 60 feet across from outer wall to outer wall and the sides slope so that the top of the tower is 40 feet in diameter. The tower is topped by a curious glass-like dome, and the sides of the tower are completely without feature, including any sign of masonry (though many townsfolk remember a time when there were definitely individual blocks). In the last year, a set of steep stone stairs have appeared in the side of the Great Climb, doubling back on themselves again and again until they reach the lip of the cliff and the base of the tower. It is this tiring journey that Sidney Grennan must make every week to work in Smerrol's shop.

NPC: Smerrol Wisefinder

Smerrol Wisefinder is a male gnome Wizard. A scant 3 years ago, Smerrol arrived in Reeftide with wagonload upon wagonload of mysterious bottles, books, and caged creatures, along with a large quantity of more mundane building materials, which he had built into a tower on the lip of the Great Climb just outside of town in a remarkable 5 months. Smerrol rarely appears in public, and seems to go out of his way to appear unapproachable to the villagers. On holidays though, Smerrol has been known to fly crookedly through Reeftide singing in a reedy tenor, occasionally turning things different colors or playing harmless magical pranks. For the rest of the year though, Smerrol has made it abundantly clear to the Reeftiders that he really doesn't wish to be bothered.
