The World of Gods and Men

Lysander's Tower and the Citadel during the height of the Golden Age. Founded by Lysander as a centre for learning and the training of teachers, the institution would survive the Wrath of Arathor and continue its mission for thousands of years. Today, the tower remains the oldest surviving structure in Eldoria and the enduring heart of the Citadel. Introduction In the previous article, we explored the life and legacy of Lysander, the God of Wisdom and founder of the institution that remains his greatest enduring achievement: the Citadel. Unlike many of the wonders of the Age of Gods, the Citadel did not vanish with the passing of the Golden Age. Aurelis fell, the Temple District was destroyed, and countless monuments of that era were lost to history. Yet the Citadel endured. Though altered by time, war, and reconstruction, it remains the oldest continuously operating institution in Eldoria and one of the few surviving links to the world that existed before the Wrath of Arathor.
