The Shadowspires

High up in the mountains, where snow and frost rule, there is an abandoned city. What inhabitants lived here? Who built this place? These facts have long since passed from the collective memory of Orymm - this place is left alone almost completely at all times. Even animal life leaves the place alone. Not just because of the bitter cold, but just as much because the shadows seem to lead a life of their own here.

Nobody should stick around too long in a place like this, and if they do, they should stay close to other life - or they might find themselves unable to leave the shadow.

Special Condition

And There Will Be Shadows...:

The Shadowspires have a strange effect on some people visiting the location. Any player who skills up in this location, and who has not rolled a stat increase, MUST take the skill Shadowing if he is able to take this skill. This reflects the way the Shadowspires have left their mark on the player.

Tournament Location

The Shadowspires will host the first official NOF tournament: the Tournament of Shadows. One victory point will be awarded to every match winner, with an extra victory point to be awarded to the tournament victor. The tournament starts in Round 6, provided enough teams commit to the tournament by signing up for the tournament in Ryder's Cove in Round 5. The minimum will be 4. Other numbers possible will be 8 or 16. Possibly 6 or 12 will also be accepted - the NOF will decide when the time comes who is accepted and who is not. Any player losing a match during the tournament, will automatically end up in Ryder's Cove the round after it.

Tournament will be played under King of the Hill rules: it is impossible to see who your next opponent will be in this realm of shadows.

Special award for winning the whole tournament: A Shadow Amulet.

Adjacent Regions: Ryder's Cove, Liúnár, Pox.
