Tirnorto

Tirgoroth, the communications center of the Court. It is the domain of Valkrist, Ihe Lord of Arms; and the Messenger makes his home here as well. By design a grace ful palace of high walls and slender towers, it is perched upon the summil of a sheer peak jutting the of the waters of the Koros bay to an impossible height. Part of Tirgoroth's mystique is, no doubt, the large cloud which hovers perpetually about the top of the peak. giving the impression that the castle is in fact floating on the cloud. Only one efllrance to the ciladel is known for certain: the great drawbridge gate which opens onto thin air. Indeed, it serves ollly as a runway for the great grey falcons of Tirgoroth and their silver-and-blue clad riders. A nother way is only rumored: the "ten thousand steps", a spiral stair which runs from Ihe bottom chambers, still thousands of feet above sea level, to deep below the sea floor, where a tunnel leads to the mainland. Whether this stair even exists is a mailer of elernal speculation.
