==The Tower of Al-Jazeera==

Surrounding Terrain (2.12, 3.11, 4.11, 4.12) : Desert

This ancient wizard's tower was long abandoned and almost completely buried until rediscovered by a fugitive sorceror from the southern desert kingdoms. Having conquered the magical defenses of the tower and raised it back above the sands, the renegade, one Ali Ababba Al-Jazeera, has enacted a cunning plan.

The tower grants its owner control over 8 enslaved Djinn, one for each of the 8 cardinal directions. He has tasked these Djinn with transmitting thoughts of paranoia and hatred into the ether surrounding the tower. As the transmissions emanate further and further from the tower, Al-Jazeera is hoping it will incite the surrounding kingdoms to eventually start fighting amongst each other and start an age of war and bloodshed.

As the kingdoms are weakened, he will take them over one by one until he has all the kingdoms of men under his thumb as a Grand Sorceror Sultan and can exact slow, excruciating revenge upon those who dared to exile him...

SECRET: This tower was originally built for the same purpose by the fox-were magus Perrut Dochrum, whose soul is trapped in a sky-blue topaz encased in a lead box and buried beneath a flagstone on the lowest floor. If the gem is ever broken, he will manifest as a lich and regain control of the djinn.
