In todays episode of Dareloth's Lore Dives, we talk about a bunch of out of game lore written and spearheaded by Michael Kirkbride, a.k.a., Mankar Camoran, a.k.a., Vivec, a.k.a., the man who haunts my nightmares. We go through Tower lore, and I hope to bring you closer to understand what all of this stuff is really about.
