Toruloquimint~
Toruloquimint the "Word Spirit" dwells in this archive.

The archive of the Belltower is inhabited by a "word spirit" called the
Toruloquimint.  It appears to be the protector of its sacred texts, and has
the ability to translate writing into any language.

The Bellmaster~
The Bellmaster focuses singularly on his mission.
~
The Bellmaster's task is to ring the bell atop the tower once daily.  He is an
aged man, and a bit slow to move about.  He became the Bellmaster after the
passing of the previous one, countless years ago.

A demon informant stands in a daze.

This demon came here to spy on the Bellmaster for his unholy master.  She just
seems to stand here in a trance.  It might be related to the strange looking
gloves she is wearing.

On the Path to the Belltower~
Here in an isolated corner of the world sits the Belltower.  Though its
origins are a complete mystery- nobody knows who built it, or when- it has
been recognized as sacred and holy, with a bell that seems to have some
mysterious properties or power.  Along with its origins, the bell's power is
also known by none.

Nearby glows a light blue rune.

Path Around the Belltower~
A small circle of stones sits a few feet from the western wall of the
Belltower.  Although very small, each about the size of an apple, they are far
too heavy to be lifted or even moved.

Quiet Pathway~
A tombstone stands, with its writing too weathered to be read.  It might be
the resting place of the former keeper of this site.  While the ground around
the tombstone looks like ordinary dirt and earth, it is extremely hard. 
Excavating the grave would be impossible.

then turn around, as if repelled by some force.

Bellmaster's Hut~
The Bellmaster's hut is not nearly as simple as it appears to be.  This hut
contains a nothing but a clean bedroll, a table and chair, and a cabinet. 
According to tradition, the Bellmaster's few worldly possessions are passed
down to his successor after his death.  Yet after so many years, everything in
this hut, and the hut itself, appear to be in brand new condition, as if
unaffected by the passage of time.

The Ivy Covered Tower Wall~
Ivy covers the eastern wall of the tower.  A careful observer would notice
that the ivy actually moves, albeit slowly.  Perhaps it is trying to hide
something?  But perhaps it is just swaying in the breeze.

The entrance to the Belltower to the north is but a simple arched entryway.

several different languages.

Belltower Entrance~
The Belltower itself is a simple stone building.  It was first discovered about
fifty years ago, but nobody knows who built it or with what means.  The
Belltower is about one hundred feet tall, and apparently has a basement, as a
hatch cover leads down.

Belltower Basement~
The basement of this Belltower is used to archive old texts.  The words on the
texts, written in unknown languages, glow light blue.  They appear to have
great importance, but their true meaning may have been lost over the ages, or
perhaps not lost, but hidden.

Belltower Staircase~
The Bellmaster must ascend and descend these many steps once a day to ring the
bell.  Given the Bellmaster's age, this is no easy task, but his entire life
is dedicated to accomplishing his duty.  About every twenty steps or so is a
small alcove with a bench, so that the weary Bellmaster may rest.

The Bell~
Atop the tower is a large brass bell.  It looks ordinary at first, but it
seems to make a slight ringing sound, even when completely motionless.  There
is a strange sense of calm in this place.
