Spiral Tower Mountain

Spiral Tower Mountain is perhaps one of the most desolate and bleak locations in the entirety of Sert. It has been the stronghold of the Demon Lord and the hordes of the Neryk Mountains for literal ages. It is the tallest peak of the Neryk Mountains, and it stands apart from them by a full 50 miles. The closer one gets to Spiral Tower Mountain, the less vegetation and life in general one sees, other than the occasional messenger of Neryk or throng of marauding troops. The ground is packed hard and grey, a wasteland that is scorching by day and bone-chillingly bleak by night. Often, the sky is shrouded over with a brooding, crackling lightning storm, yet no rain falls in that place. The Staircase of Peril winds around and around the side of the mountain, and everything that doesn't have wings must walk it, because teleportation (and scrying) magic is suppressed in the lands surrounding Spiral Tower Mountain. Once at the top, one must make an even more treacherous journey going down through the dozens of levels, caves, labyrinths and traps that lead eventually to the throneroom of the Demon Lord. The journey has been completed only thrice before in history, and only once was a group successful in slaying the Demon Lord. After a period of 100 years, however, a new demon took his place and Neryk became an active threat once more.
