Ten years after it fell, the High Mage Greylen magically rebuilt the Tower of
Olyian to suit his own needs.  Not knowning it's true history, the people of
Ikros began calling the tower "Greylen's Tower," and the name stuck.  As
Greylen's power and popularity grew, people began flocking to his tower for
guidance and help.  Eventually, the small village of Dahyart, several miles
away, moved itself to sit along the path that lead up to Greylen's Tower to be
closer to Ikros' star wizard and to gain his protection.  It has now become
somewhat of a tourist trap, as the village is beginning to tailor itself to
meet the needs of those who travel so far to visit the High Mage.

The village straddles the road that leads to the front of the tower, and boasts
a blacksmith's shop and three small shop stalls.  The total number of
buildings, aside the tower and its signature six spires, is 18.

Pictures of Greylen's Tower and it's interior will come later.

Thanks goes to Jon Furman and his Provincial Village for no small amount of
inspiration.

Hey Anthony, What an interesting backstory! I love stories that incorporate generational changes (how Tower of Olyian -> Greylen's Tower), and how subtle things can really change the lives of many people (like all the villagers of Dahyart). I also (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hi Anthony, Your village is so adorable. I want it to mix with Jon's Provincial Village and then my collection would be complete. I wish. 8-) Needless to say (but I will) I really like your village. Hugs, Shirley. (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle)
