The Holy Tower
The Holy Tower is a massive tower, the biggest in the world. It is the source of all the magic and power in The Holy City Court.

The tower is often filled with Mages and Priests of the Holy City. Only the exclusively picked are permited in the upper levels.

The Beginning
''The Holy City was founded centuries ago, by the Goddess Eula, the princess of the Gods. She was the first High Priestess [queen] and she watched over her kingdom. It is said that she mated with a soldier, against the wishes of her Guardians, and her parents, and conceived a child. All was peaceful for several years, until a new god came.''

The Great War
''The God of Chaos was jealous of Eula, and he wanted her dead. He and his wife, Eris came and declared war on them. Eula's parents, the rulers of the gods, took her away. Erison, and his wife, soon took seige on the kingdom. Eula soon broke free from her parents grip and fought them. All of a sudden, they disappeared, and all was quiet... until centuries later...''

Soon after, they elected new High Priestesses, of which brought the prophecy, mentioned in The Life of Keira Kinover. ''The god and his daughter broke free, vowing to free Eris, and conquer the world. Each time, the High Priestess sacrificed her life to stop them, and only One broke the cycle.''
