The Towers are in every major city and they are magical. The Towers have rules that must be followed if you decide to enter one of the Towers. The ten rules of the Towers are as follows;
#1. No one may be barred entry from the Towers.
#2. A spell will keep you from talking to others about the Towers except with other climbers or retired climbers.
#3. If you enter the Towers, you agree to allow the Towers to choose your fate.
#4. You must be at least 16 summers old to enter the Towers.
#5. The Towers magically send 2 gold to every boy and girl on their 16th birthday to provide for going to the Towers if they so choose.
#6. You can leave and reenter the Towers, once for every 5 levels completed.
#7. If you run out of reentries then you are barred from ever entering the Towers again.
#8. All treasures, rewards, knowledge and ability earned in the tower is property of the Tower Climber, but it may be lost, stolen, brought, or sold.
#9. Completed Towers levels maybe repeated, for more rewards, treasure, and materials.
#10. The most you will ever age in the Towers is one year. No matter how long you stay inside.
The Towers are magical buildings, they are used to provided the world with knowledge, crafting materials, treasures, and most important telling young people that survive the Towers their fate. The Towers for those who choose to go in willingly, will be taught a trade fated for them, no matter what that may be, as long as they survive the training and the level, all Tower climbers must complete one level. The Towers are special to every kingdom and city that has one, as they provide trade. Each Tower has a shop at the bottom where climber can sell their goods through the Towers if they choose not to come out, but also anyone can buy from this shop. The shop is considered a neutral zone by the Tower, is is both inside the Tower for climbers and outside the Tower for non-climbers. Also the Towers of each kingdom produce only one Phoenix egg, that egg is given to the person who should be King or Queen as determined by the Tower. When the King or Queen dies, the Phoenix is reborn into the egg for the Tower to give out to the new King or Queen of each kingdom.

It is believed that all the Towers are linked as the shops some times sell things that are not common to the area, but it maybe that a climber got lucky. The Tower sets a price on all goods sold through the shop, that price maybe better or worse than the climber could get outside the Tower shop, but if they left they may not be able to return so they choose to stay. The Towers have a shop inside for climbers to be able to buy goods needed to survive inside the Tower but this shop is not open to the public, also the only place to sleep inside a Tower is in one of the levels. You could build a life on one of the Towers levels and live there forever if you so choose, and some have.
The Towers floors are endless you can climb as high as you want with the next floor always being more challenging than the last. You never know when you could even find something that may change your life forever in the Tower, but the higher the climb the better the chance. The highest known climber hit floor 499, as all Towers display the highest floor ever reached but no one knows who the climber was and if they died or just stopped their climb. We will be starting our journey in the kingdom of Zirin.
The kingdom of Zirin is not a large kingdom by the world of Trulux standards as it only has 2 Towers the one in Zirin City and the one in Zebrun. The king lives in Zirin City and had been climbing the Tower for 6 years, when the old king died. The Towers decided that he was worthy of the Phoenix egg, and he was given the Phoenix egg on the 75th floor. He came out of the tower looking like an 18 year old, as he had only came out of the Tower one other time in six years. The knowledge he gained in the Tower made him a warlock, and a great king and protector of the kingdom of Zirin. King Gallin has now been king for almost 300 years and some say he is nearing the end of his life but only time will tell. As he can still reenter the tower up to 14 more times. King Gallin is a good king but also has issues he has 7 wives and many children and many of his children have children. Some think they should be king after their father no matter who the Tower says, some plan to go into the tower to fight for the right to be ruler, and some just want to live in peace.
Who will be the next great Tower Climber?
