The Watchers

"...   As court scribe, I Adormir, the son of Beirdan witnessed firsthand everything that was spoken that day.  From, down the halls to the lowest depths of that three hundred and fifty-two year old tower that party was led.  Vendumar then instructed the newly made Judge, before the final door was unlocked, “In this manner let it also be made to your people that all we shall give is house and darkness to this – wicked thing here.  Full duty of his charge is laid fully upon you as to his care and well being; yet, ever are you to keep us abreast of his state and to your own comings and goings.  His welfare is upon your heads alone, is that understood?”

   So it was that the Grey Tower of Mithar came to house its first of many prisoners.  Its dungeon became notorious throughout Eriduah as the ultimate end, next to death itself.  Thus, were the ties of the Nasil woven into the fabric of the elven people, and a new era of history began. ..."
