Rhukashim Tower
A stepped tower with three tiers in the middle of Rhukashim, positioned behind the Rhukashim Library. It is around 200 feet tall
The tower is goblin made, and built to look grand, and with larger proportions than the other buildings. The building has writing on it which suggests this is a "central gathering place". Perhaps like a town hall. It has the vibes of a shopping centre.
Inside the ground floor seems to be a large space which seems to be a dining area with tables, chairs and stone carved trees and flowers. There seem to be alcoves which look like they would be for food stalls. The ceiling is very high around 60ft tall.
There is a gallery/mezzanine for the second floor with more stalls.
There are two collapsed stairwells to the gallery on each side. There are words in Goblin saying "To Gallery. Assistance Point above you. Cloth/Haberdashers/Clothing".
There is a stairway down at the far end with a symbol above which matches a symbol seen in the The Blightwood meaning big cart.
Gazzik Forum appears to be the name of the Ground Floor, or perhaps the whole tower?
Ground Floor Shops, clockwise from midday:
- Food & Kitchens
- Temple
- Books & study
- Processional Avenue
- Clothing & Textiles
- Writing & Slates
- Lamps
- Tools
The mezzanine has a shrine to Ioun. It has a metal goblin construct there. It looks dead/deactivated. It is painted as if wearing a blue robe and has numerous scratches all over it. This is likely to be the "assistance point" mentioned on the signs. The temple has a map on the wall, showing another level above with shops and two below, one with what appears to be transport links, and a large temple to Ioun beneath it
Other locations on the mezzanine:
- Two "Help Shines"
- Two "Food" cubicles
- Two "For Visitors" which seem to be sleeping cubby holes
- One "Protectors" section. This also had a weapon locker in it containing two Elemental Crossbows
The very top floor is labelled as "Speaking Chamber" and appears to be some sort of council chambers. There are the signs of a last stand being held here by the Goblins against the Mind flayers. There is a domed ceiling which is filled with the metallic spider webs. At the back of a room is a large office that has runes on suggesting it's High Arcanist Gazzik's office.
The room has two doors on either side of it. On the left is a room containing floor panels which are labelled as archives with numbers from 55-2800. They resemble the hologram projections in the library. The are activated with staff with a crystal in by putting it into a hole in front of the panel. Once activated, it creates a scrolling wall of text describing historical events.
The bottom floor
The bottom floor appears to have routes/tunnels/links to the Goblin cities of Ekkatha, Vakarun, Celethak and Qaratta (going clockwise from 10pm). The tunnels are circular and covered in tiles.
The tunnels
- The Qaratta tunnel appears to have air coming through it
There is a temple to Ioun with 2 builder statues. The door is broken open from the inside. The room has broken pews in it, and a number of what appear to be 5 stone goblin statues and some mummified bodies on the floor. The far end of the room appears to have what looks like a well.
The statues are dressed, some as soldiers, some as scholars. They are arranged either side of the path into the temple, 3 on one side, 2 on the other and an empty space where a sixth presumably was.
Kurdo, Sazzir, Throssa - Soldier statues Vestin, Kazkan - The Scholar statues. Bronis is on the empty plinth.
The well has stairs spiralling around the inside of it descending. There are lights shining up the well, very similar to the lights down the large hole in the [[Rhukashim Library].
About 100ft down the stairs break through the ceiling into a circular metallic walled room, mixed with stone. The stone has fractal patterns in it. The floor is metal.
There are three exits with metal double doors and some windows that look out with a little bit of light coming through, upwards to the windows.
This is the Rhukashim Forge
