The Thanatos Tower can be found in the northern part of Juno. Although there are no historical documents to support it, there are many legends and lore that tell of its origin. One is that before the great Millenium War, the gods have built the tower to demonstrate their power and greatness to the humans. Another is that the tower was constructed by demons to serve are their fortress in their battle to destroy humankind. But the most widely accepted legend is that it was built to commemorate the victory of the legendary arcane knight Thanatos over the demon king Satan Morroc. According to the lore, Satan Morroc wreaked havoc all over the world until Thanatos stepped up and fought him. They battled for 10 straight days, and in the end Thanatos reigned victorious. He sealed the defeated demon king in the southern desert of Rune-Midgard, hence the name of the city that sprawled above it: Morroc.
Hundreds of years have passed since then before Thanatos Tower was rediscovered by an expedition team from the Rekenber Corporation. It was in ruins when they first saw it, pillars and columns were broken down, walls were chipped and cracked. It was almost unrecognizable, it looked more like a pile of rocks rather than a man-made tower. Knowing that they might stumble upon ancient artifacts that can grant them great power, the Rekenber Corporation planned to reconstruct the tower to its former glory. They spent a lot of resources to conduct excavations and research, hoping that in doing so they might be able to extract the secrets of Thanatos Tower.
So far, the Rekenber Corporation has managed to restore the lower floors of the Thanatos Tower, making it available to the public for a fee, which they use to continue with their research and reconstruction projects. Recently however the excavation in the tower temporarily came to a halt. A huge earthquake shook the area, and at the same time a strange flash of lightning, which was bright enough to be seen all the way from Einbroch, struck the top of the tower. This disaster resulted in a lot of deaths, leaving only a handful of survivors. Some speculations say that the gods sent forth angels to punish the humans for tinkering with the tower, and others say it was demons that plundered the tower. Whatever the reasons, the Rekenber Corporation is still unfazed and is determined to continue their reconstruction of the Thanatos Tower.
