- Description: Written to detail one of the more mysterious things in Kyushu, the ancient towers that have stood since as far back as there have been people in the region but no one lays claim to building them. Architecturally marvels as each one is perfectly leveled with the rest to an elevation one kilometer above sea level. The height of the tower can change but the level it reaches is always the same. The spacing is also strange as from orbit is forms a geometric pattern around a single point in the continent. The central city of the continent is monumental with most believing it has always been there and much like the Sarnoi a strange place that has always stood.

CONTENT INFORMATION
The mysterious shadow towers of Kyushu, unknown and unexplained. THey have been on the continent since it was first settled and explored. Discovered with regards that they were considered places of the dead or undead in some cases. With mysterious sickness and curses in ancient times applied to bacteria that were present within the towers when they had been sealed. Spores from fungas in the older centuries of Atrisia preserved in the sealed towers then being inhaled and spreading before they had been eradicated in some of them. The style and design of the towers has dozens of alcoves along the outside that can be used to scale it but entering the towers is only from one entrance near the base or closest thing that would be the base of the tower. Early surveys of the towers showed that the sizes vary... they are more built into the terrain and lands around them with some being small while some in the middle of lakes or rivers go under the water and have basement like areas.
The biggest oddities of the towers has been their geometrical design... they are spaced out exactly from each other five kilometers, to an elevation one kilometer above sea level and spread from the central city Akihabara to the coasts of the continent. Early explorers had theories about them ranging from alien species visiting to early civilizations that were more advanced but civil war over limited resources on the continent led to them dying off. That the towers are quarried stone can be seen while mass graves of others who perished from manual labor were discovered below the towers at the furthest points leading to macabre rumors of them being filled with the sounds of the dead. Other theories from Atrisian researchers over the years and the settlers on the the continent in Akihabara... That the towers were from ancient Atrisians in a display for their gods to see from the skin. Evidence of such thinking can be seen as the design of the towers is visible from orbit.
That is perhaps have the fun of the continent and the towers that have attracted researchers, explorers and theorists for centuries. That the dark haired, dark skinned and exotic Atrisians of Kyushu are highly regarded for their spices and mysticism. Making smaller cities in the towers that expand upwards and around them are farmlands with workers in the fields. The upper most sections of the tower is used for the leader of the small village. Different families cropping up who have studied a number of different aspects of the force, others that know medicine and stll others who have went out into the galaxy to explore and bring back arcane teaching... ancient schools of thought. It is part of the new mythos they have been working on to attract more people to come and explore or discover what they can about the towers. It is my opinion that solving the mysterious of the towers is not the goal... the fun and excitement of it comes from everyong who comes coming up with their own ideas for what they mean.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Collected and rewritten by Io Murasaki with the reformation efforts of Atrisia. The ancient texts were given a fresh look with citations where they can be found but a new take on the information presented to try and bring the vernacular into a more modern phrasing.
