The Astral Tower

A Knave Adventure for levels 4-6

“Adrift upon the boundless Etheric Sea, the Celestial Bodies move in accord with the Cosmic Currents, which are borne forth by the breath of divine agents, stirring mighty winds. Each Celestial Orb is, in truth, a vessel containing a slumbering godling, much akin to an egg. The steady course of their ethereal drifting doth preserve the peace of these unborn divinities, holding them in gentle repose. Yet, should these sacred beings awaken and emerge in their full divinity, a Great Reckoning shall befall, and with it, our world wouldst be brought to ruination.” excerpt from De Natura Caelestium: A Treatise on the Etheric Movements of the Heavenly Orbs by Anselm de Velstrum

Overview

The abandoned Tower of Ulvarum Orvernus stands atop an asteroid nearly a quarter mile in diameter, located roughly 5 million miles from the planet’s surface. The asteroid maintains Earth-like gravity and a breathable atmosphere, with habitable temperatures. This is all sustained through the harnessed power of a bound Air Elemental and Earth Elemental. If either of these Elementals are freed, the asteroid’s environment will quickly become inhospitable.

The PCs may find themselves drawn to the asteroid through a forgotten portal, seeking a way to return home. Alternatively, they might be lured there by rumors of a powerful item or hidden knowledge within the tower’s extensive libraries.

Features

• Explore a multi-level tower filled with traps and strange encounters.
• Encounter a variety of creatures, including animated armor, alien plant life, giant spiders, and a doppelganger.
• Navigate the dangers of the asteroid’s surface, where alien plants and a rogue Roc roam.
• Escape the asteroid using a ritual teleportation circle, but only if you can decipher its secrets.
