About

The old watchtower was once used to get a proper view over Midgard but now Wizards have claimed it to settle disputes slightly less petty than the once settled in Aldrheim’s old Training Grounds. This is indeed an epic location for duels and how the wizards get up there in the first place, no one knows.
