====Blood Tower of the Northern March====
:  In the early days of fighting against Izrador, the Blood Tower was known as Rokan’s Hold and was part of the great Fortress Wall of the north. The Hold was a renowned training ground for warriors and it consistently managed to bring in dozens of orc trophies a month. Its walls were adorned with grisly reminders of past battles and the men who served there were amongst the most vicious of all defenders. Even the hint of an orc could send them into murderous frenzies and the dark races eventually learned to avoid the Hold entirely.
:  During the second invasion of Izrador, the men of the Hold were put to the test. They were all that stood to stem the tide of the Shadow while the northerners retreated to shore up defenses elsewhere. For weeks, the men of Rokan’s Hold defended the tower, slaughtering any orc who dared get too near. Though the defenders fell to magic and arrows, they whittled away at the forces attacking them.
:  The arrival of a contingent of Shadow Minions spelled the doom of Rokan’s Hold. The battle for the tower raged for weeks longer, even after the arrival of the minions, until the interior of the tower was drenched in blood and the walls were plastered with gore. Though the Hold fell, its defenders became legends because they gave the northerners needed time to regroup and reorganize. The Blood Tower became a story to inspire warriors from that time forward.
Powerful magic waits in its lower regions. The powerful nexus somehow escapes the notice of Izrador’s legates and even the astiraxes. :  It is told that should heroes be able to infiltrate the Shadow’s defenses and craft magic items in the heart of one of his strongholds, the benefits would be powerful indeed: magic weapons that retain their enhancement bonuses even when within the presence of a black mirror.
