Draft:Shattered Embrace:Stone Crown

The Stone Crown is a collective term for three ancient towers on Arveran that can be visited in Shattered Embrace DLC. Although partially ruined by the time of the Hero's visit, their vaults are intact and can be explored during Laginu's expert assignment.

History

The Towers forming the Stone Crown were built by the Founders at the beginning the Age of Heroes to guard the magical gates of Lorren, Gromsh and Dalnir during the island's colonization. In time, three ancient capitals of Triumvirate of Arveran were built around them. During the Tenebrae Invasion, each structure was damaged (although some more than others), and all three cities became inhabitable. The Founders children that formed the Second Triumvirate decided to abandon them and move to Shadinar instead.

List of Towers

The Stone Crown comprised of three Towers:

• The Tower of Lorren stood at the center of Lorrendar. It was toppled during the magical earthquake 'caused by the invading Tenebrae that caused the city to sunk into the sea, forming the Cloudy Bay. A Tower's base was used during the construction of Freehaven atop of the ruins. It's vault survived the cataclysm, but Maleno sealed it, so it can only be entered after recieving a special key from Laginu.
• The Tower of Gromsh still stands in Gromshar ruins. It can be explored as early as right after Orias convinces the majority of Fenrir's warriors to stop hostilities.
• The Tower of Dalnir is located in Tar-Dalnir ruins. It can be visited as early as prior to the journey to Outworld.
