Atop a hill overlooking the town sits a lofty tower. For as long as the townsfolk remember, a sorcerer or sorceress has always lived inside its stone walls. Every few years, the tower changes ownership, granting the new owner access to its tomes, magical devices and curiosities to help them in their studies.
Very few people besides the tower’s owner have looked inside. Apprentices, dignitaries, scholars and many others have had the honour and privilege to look upon its countless arcane treasures. The value of these items stored within attract many a thief bold enough to take on the tower’s defences. Only the most cunning and quick-witted make off with the goods. Those who have are changed forever. Not all changes are beneficial, but the chance for a better life is worth the risk.
Who dares enter the tower?
(Each entry must take place in a fantasy, historical, or science fiction setting. Anything as long as there is magic in the entry. The sorcerer can be any gender.)
