The Tower stands tall, built of the best stone with a number of odd runes that only the local mages truly know how to read. Despite age the stones do not crumble, and stand ever vigilante as a watch station for the city.
Within the walls of the city, Inside Tower
mage
goblin
The goblin lives deep inside of caves far away from the sunlight. The goblin lives on deep cave algae and small critters and bugs that he can catch on the cave floor. The goblin avoids people as much as he can to stay alive.
Grrr... What brings you here, you foolish mage! Go and leave! Hush Goblin. You are in the presence of Karest the Great! Hmph... Karest the Great! Sounds like a ridiculous name! I came here to help. Don't mock me. Help with what? If you wanted to truly help, you'd get out of my sight! I avoid people for a reason, so I can be able to stay alive! I am a mage. I don't want to hurt you or let others know you are here. Fiiiine. Then why would you be here, it's for the runes, isn't it? No. That's dead end work. I want something to Make Me Great Again. Like what? I'm not sure. These walls hold secrets nobody knows. I am hoping to find a spell to make everyone see I am the greatest! Karest the Great! Alright I get it! I'll let you look at the walls, maybe there's a spell in there. I don't know, I haven't bothered to check. Why haven't you looked? You just sit around scarying the townspeople?
