The tower rises above the world, and tumbles down as man's hubris clashes with the Divine Ego. The city of a thousand tongues languishes as people strive to live with the celestial gifts. Throneseekers ascend the tower, searching out the profanely sacred places, looking for glory, looking for peace. SPECIAL GUEST GM Caleb Wimble!
