The World and the Tower; Throwing out ideas for comment or opposition

I've been trying to imagine what this world is like beyond the introduction already given and a few ideas have come to mind so far. These are just what I'm throwing out as possibilities so comments, or alternatives, would be welcome.

There are relics, ruins... and a single transcendent tower that is, as the D&D players say 'Dungeon Time'... dimensionally transcendent... ie the tower is the only way to other realities the only problem lies in that there are monsters and such in said tower that don't leave it. And not every one will end up as a 'super character'... think of those who ended up as absolutely normal people.

Think a tower that is several miles wide, and an uncalculatable height (literally, it keeps shifting... within a set amount... but it changes
Bomb wrote that in one of the messages and it looks like a good place to start. In my minds eye I'm imagining people waking up scattered far and wide, sometimes in groups and sometimes not, with often significant distances from them to the Tower. Yet the tower is something which stands out while still being obscured, which divinations, psychic powers, or sensors would determine is doing 'odd things' but the details are nigh impossible to determine. People, knowingly or not, are often drawn towards the tower and various forms of determining direct will generally point towards it.

Generally things wander into the Tower through doors to other worlds within it, ones which open and close erratically, but at other times the Tower draws things in a less controlled fashion. Items, beasts, plants, or people can be found appearing in the Tower or even in the regions close to it. Setting up a lasting residence too close to the Tower risks waking up one day to find, say, hell wasps have appeared in your bedroom.

In the larger world there signs of previous habitation, but bar the tower the most recent is ruins at best. The land is untouched by human, or unhuman, hand and the wildlife varies from almost normal to somewhat monstrous due to things which came from the tower managing to find a niche for themselves. It would be a lush and dangerous place, something which is not going to help the more normal people who appeared in this world.


Anyone else got a view on this?

There is that...

A slow acclimatation period, this would allow for different timings and setting up of stuff.
