The Scions of Erdrick are made aware of the tower when first speaking to Roge Fastfinger in the jail of Burrowell. The eccentric man explains that members of the Children of Hargon have taken residence in the tower and have used a strange jewel to do something peculiar to the minds of the people of Slewse, reducing them to mere children in adult bodies. Roge had locked the floodgates and taken the key with him as he fled the region, hoping that the monsters would be trapped in the tower long enough for him to find help, and he gives the key to the Scions.
