The Endless Pillars

Gask's center for training nethermancers and ethermancers, situated in a valley hidden in the hills just outside of Setteven.

The Endless Pillars are hilly and difficult to reach by off-road travelers. A complex of stone buildings sit in the middle of the valley, encircled by white pillars ranging from two feet to tall to over thirty, each of them a good three or four feet across. In the center of the compound is a round, 60-foot high tower. The tower is heavy on classical Gaskan architecture, with an abundance of arches. The Pillars are known for being a self-contained village, with the sorcerers who live and train there largely kept out of sight and mind until the King wants something flashy done. The non-magical staff work in two week shifts- they spend two weeks in the Pillars and two back home. The staff are recruited based on their loyalty, obedience, and tight lips. Newcomers have to spend three months in a barracks with other recruits before even being allowed into the Pillars.
