This tower is in GW2 also[edit]
It is where you defeat 1 of the dragons who only ventures in the sky's. You kill it by throwing rocks and spears which the wizard left behind for emergency's only. pay much respect to this beautifull landmark. Richi2k7

Looks like an excellent place to put a hidden GM lobby.Gorefiend 00:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

This should have been called the Tower of High Sorcery. Guild Wars needs Dragonlance references. --Aldarik 01:13, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- Seconded. But I don't think this place is ever mentioned in-game, so the name was thought up by a user. Paddymew 18:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Firstwatch Sergio
- "Galrath must be stopped! If he gains whatever secrets are locked within the wizard's tower in Kessex Peak, gods be merciful, I know not who to trust within the Lionguard.
- Our good and well known friend Sergio the Firstwatch does call it the Wizards tower :) -- Magamdy 19:00, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- I highly doubt the actual name of the castle in the sky is "The Wizard's Tower" it isn't even capitalized ingame, the zone is capitalized and so is Galrath's name. I'm sure it is a tower that used to be run by wizards (which is all Sergio knows hence calling it the wizard's tower) and nobody on Tyria really knows much about it. What we should be speculating, is that it may have been an ancient school of magics where the "dragons" used to be highly talented wizards that yearned for more power then they could possible control, then one unfortunate event caused a force of chaos to tear at their bodies and transform them into the dragons we see now. Most are still sleeping off the effects of what had happened. And the chaos that engulfed the castle leaves it suspended high above Kessex's Peak untouched by the changes of time, caught in between the rift of now and then.

- "...I know not who to trust within the Lionguard."? Sounds like a mesmer lived there. Though, it could of course have been in the time before the four primal powers were separated. Paddymew 22:39, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
The Wizards Tower in GW2[edit]
They should do something like this.
- "After the Door of Komalie was closed, and Kryta fell into civil war, Verata and his cult finally succeeded in entering the mysterious Wizards Tower. Inside the treacherous tower, Verata found a Seeing Stone (you know, just like that ball that Saruman uses to talk with Sauron in lotr :3 ), one the ancient Orrian Artifacts that were thought to be lost during the Cataclsym. Verata was seduced, as the evil undead minions of Zythan also were in the posession of these stones. Zythan knew of this one seeing stone, and that it would once be found by a mortal men, and men are easily corrupted. Through this stone Zythan posioned the mind of Vereta with his evil voice, the doomed necromancer being unable to resist a force so powerfull. The evil power of the Ancient Dragon consumed Verata and his followers, being bound the Seeing Stone, and the soul of Zythan. In that tower, their body's rotted away, but their evil spirit persisted. When the time comes, Zythan will call upon this deadly servant, to destroy the Krytans who oppose him, from the dreaded flying tower, called "The Bulwark of the Damned."
(I thought it would be cool if Verata appeared as some kind of undead warlord, wreaking havoc in a flying wizards tower >:) )
HOpe anet reads this and adjust their storyline :3 -- Magamdy 19:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
KK :D -- Magamdy 19:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Uhm, Zythan arrises 100 years after the end of GW. How the heck is Verata still alive by then? (Please don't say he's a Lich, that's sooo cliché.) — Why 12:16, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- I think that the the fact that Zythan rises 100 years after GW, doesn't mean he isn't there. Through the Seeing Stone, the spirit of Zythan corrupts Verata and slowly transfrosm him into an undead being, thus keeping him alive for ages. I think that Zythan was plannig all this for ages, just unable to manifest himself, and thus waiting for the right moment. That doesn't say Verata is a lich. I too think liches are cliché :3 (although there pretty awsome) -- Magamdy 12:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Are you talking about Zhaitan? Paddymew 16:37, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hehe, no idea how to spell it :) -- Magamdy 16:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oh ok. But wouldn't it be even cooler if the real owner of the castle showed up? Also, how can Verata be "seduced" by Zhaitan's minions alone, if they are nothing more than mindless undead? I mean, the undead we are fighting in Kryta on behalf of the White Mantle could very well be Zhaitan's minions, but Zhaitan is asleep, and the undead themselves are just pouring out of the Sea of Sirens. They aren't capable of thinking for themselves, so it would have to be Zhaitan himself who seduced Verata, perhaps showing him visions of the power that he could be granted. And following this train of thought, I come to think of Livia, who stumbles upon the Scepter of Orr in the end of EotN, who very well might have some part in this story too. Paddymew 19:51, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Right, and why else would Verata create such techniques as Verata's Gaze an Verata's Aura? -/-I dont know if my input means anything lol-/- Discuss 20:44, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- He experimented with new way of makes minions, as we are told in the necromancer quest Renegade Necromancer. So he found out new ways to manipulate his minions, but was banished from necromancer society because he took his research even further, sacrificing innocents to fuel his projects. Paddymew 21:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Those Poor, poor extras. -/- Discuss 04:59, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, the normal undead soldier are mindless minions, but I think Zaithan's generals have their own will. Like I said, Zaithan's body may be asleep, but I think his spirit is all but that. Don't forget he's one of the most powerfull beings that ever lived on earth. Maybe it was Verata's destiny that his hunger for power would led him to the Wizard's Tower, and thus into the clutches of Orr. The spirit of Zhaitan would, through his generals, corrupt Verata with his poisonous words of power. Everyone in that tower would be bound to the stone and Zhaitan until he arrises. And maybe is The Scepter of Orr, somehow the key to the Wizard's Tower. -- Magamdy 09:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Then the tower would be of Orrian origin, yes? Paddymew 12:00, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- It is in my story, yes. Once inhabited by Orrian magicians and Viziers that settled in Kryta before Charr invaded Orr. It was deserted, but the Seeing Stone remained there, guarded by the magical seal of the tower. -- Magamdy 13:02, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- It would make sense, since Orr was practically at war with Kryta at the time. However, I still think that the Palanthir is too much of a ripoff. Perhaps a council of undead orrian wizards, awakened when Verata unsealed the tower? Paddymew 16:22, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

- No more an object that spawns something like the Vision of Glint. And if you create a good story around it, the Palantir is not a rip-off (Gw has thousands of rip-offs though, so its not really a problem xD) -- Magamdy 17:49, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Well, stuff like It's just a flesh wound isn't major parts of the story, so I don't think they qualify :). But the idea of a stone that allows you to commune with one of the greatest and most evil things the world has ever known is a little bit too familiar to make it a viable part of the main story. Paddymew 18:02, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Well, then it is an item that spawns something like the Vision of Glint. Years ago, when Orr was in war with Kryta, much Orrian soldiers were send behind enemy lines in Kryta. It would have been impossible with the generals in Orr to communicate with the leaders of the vanguards, so the Orrian Viziers created a series of magical stones know as "Vision Stones". These stones were given to the leaders of the vanguards so they could report their findings to the generals back home. When one activated the stone, he would receive a vision of the person he was trying to commonicate with, but only creatures with a strong and powerful will were able to use these treacherous stones, as they contained many hidden dangers. When the Charr invaded Orr, and it was destroyed in the Cataclsym, the Orrian stones sank along with Orr into the void. However, n-one knows what happened to the stones the vanguards used... (btw, Monthy Phyton ftw xD) -- 19:32, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- So they're magical hologram projectors! :D If they incorporate this idea in GW2, I hope that one of the stones will contain a message saying something like "Please Prince Rurik, you are my only hope!" *turns head*. Though I still prefer the idea of an undead wizard council serving Zhaitan, being awakened by Verata, and then themselves working to free their master from his slumber. Paddymew 20:05, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Prince Rurik? Turns Undead? Cheese? (oh wait :\) -- Magamdy 15:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Zhaitan is in reality merely a servant of Sheograth, the God of Madness, whose followers were hunted even more zealously than those of Abaddon. Paddymew 18:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- If Zhaitan was a servant of Sheogorath I would have known, cuz im the Prince of Madness >:D Haskill will pown ur butts MUAHAHA (told ya im mad) -- Magamdy 19:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
