''This tower once collected energy from lightning in the thunderclouds that constantly swirl here. Some say it was destroyed by repeated lightning strikes, but others note the unnatural shapes into which the tower crumbled and wonder if it fell into ruin for different reasons entirely.'' | ''This tower once collected energy from lightning in the thunderclouds that constantly swirl here.

====High Stakes==== | |||
''Amid the ruins, these swords surely stand out. They're thought to be left over from a large battle here in Crumbleden. One certainly feels a sense of intentionality in the way they're stuck straight down, as if fallen from the sky. Some see them not as swords, but rather nails or stakes. Perhaps the eyelets at the top allowed ropes or chains through to anchor something, but it's impossible to say what.'' | ''Amid the ruins, these swords surely stand out.

''It's only because of the people of Crumbleden's skill in construction that there are ruins left here to see. Their building style was reliable and straightforward, but whatever they'd hoped to accomplish by harnessing the fearsome power of lightning remains unclear. Some have theorized that the circular plaza atop the tower was built for a [[Battle with the Lord of Lightning!|standoff of some kind]].'' | ''It's only because of the people of Crumbleden's skill in construction that there are ruins left here to see.

====The Great Altar==== | |||
''It's thought that this altar was built so this former kingdom could communicate with (or perhaps confront) something. This is the only altar built here, and scholars have been keen to discover its intent. It's also said to be shaped like something in particular. The idea that it was meant to charge lightning has been disproven. The new theory is that it was built to call something down and then restrain the lightning.'' | ''It's thought that this altar was built so this former kingdom could communicate with (or perhaps confront) something.

====Are Those...Claw Marks?==== | |||
