Toranors Tower

<div id="nativeroll_video_cont" style="display:none;"></div>

We have managed to reach the magician Toranor’s grounds and free the animals of the Holberkians, as they’d “requested”.

When we tried to reach the mage’s tower, the groundskeeper blocked our way, and we were forced to throw him on Boron’s mercy. On dying, he turned into a bat and flew up into the tower before our very eyes.

We’ve found a dirt-covered hole in the tower gardens, behind some shrubs. On opening the hole, we made agruesome discovery: a mutilated body.

The corpse’s lower body had been cut off and was nowhere to be found. In addition, the face had been horribly mutilated and was absolutely unrecognizable.

“What monster would do something like that?”

What is going on in this place?!

Now Toranor has turned into a bat as well. Is he dead, now, or isn’t he?

Alrik almost fell to his death just now. The corridor was just an illusion. We’ll do well to be prepared for some more unpleasant surprises.

Alrik plunged to the ground below in the middle of walking along a corridor. It was a powerful illusion - we’ll do well to be prepared for some more unpleasant surprises.

<p>We’ve finally dealt with him! He stayed in the protective circle of a magical heptagram, but that couldn’t save him.</p> <p>That mage and his creatures won’t wreak any more havoc.</p> <p>But what is it with those bodies turning into bats?</p><br /> <p>We’ve solved the riddle. All our foes who turned into a bat on dying were in reality one and the same shapechanger, who did it to magically regenerate.</p> <script> var container = document.getElementById('nativeroll_video_cont'); if (container) { var parent = container.parentElement; if (parent) { const wrapper = document.createElement('div'); wrapper.classList.add('js-teasers-wrapper'); parent.insertBefore(wrapper, container.nextSibling); } } </script>
