The whole<br \/>\nconversation was rather confusing because Melabrion only spoke to us in<br \/>\nDwarven, and what he said had to be translated to us by the Dwarves who<br \/>\nwere present. Why a sylvan like Melabrion would want to speak Dwarven<br \/>\nall the time is beyond me. Truly, he is an odd wizard. He also showed a<br \/>\nlot of interest in Blood Magic, which the dwarf Henryk happily<br \/>\ndemonstrated for him.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>After Melabrion left, a bunch of us entered the<br \/>\nportal in Tenebrion&#8217;s conference room, and explored the Ethereal Tower.<br \/>\nThe Tower consists of six levels, each with a different theme. Each of<br \/>\nthe levels is very different, and some of them are very deadly.<br \/>\nHowever, each of the levels has a mystic illusion which leads to a<br \/>\nsmall library, and a portal which leads to the basements of each of the<br \/>\nsix &#8216;Brion brothers&#8217; keeps. The basements all share similar<br \/>\ncharacteristics: a series of crystals organized in the form of the<br \/>\nconstellation Sororian, and an illusion that leads to the Kyuem room,<br \/>\nwhich contains a Kyuem.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/undine.gif\" height=\"239\" width=\"309\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>A Kyuem, as can be seen in the picture above,<br \/>\nconsists of three slabs of rock, topped with a Kyuem power stone. No<br \/>\none knows for sure what purpose these strange devices serve, but it is<br \/>\ngenerally thought that the Kyuem are used to absorb ether. There are<br \/>\nalso rumors that some exiles have found pieces of the Kyuem, though<br \/>\nnone have yet to put together an entire Kyuem. If the devices really do<br \/>\nabsorb ether, though, they could be invaluable to Puddleby, as they<br \/>\ncould be placed in Purgatory to absorb all the ether that slips into<br \/>\nthe plane.
