Korin Tower.
At the top of a gleaming ivory tower that reaches miles into the sky lives the cat Deity, Korin. An ancient being who takes the form of an old white cat who carries an overzsized walking stick. Seemingly harmless Korin has lived for many centuries and has been watching the Earth very carefully. Korin is a rather brash creature but very wise and is also the keeper of the precious Sensu beans. A small plant that can heal someone completely even when they are close to death.
Carved with images of ancient beasts and ornate markings, the Tower itself is sometimes used as a test of endurance to see who can make it to the top without falling to their doom below.
At the base of the tower lies a peaceful Indian village where the people worship the Cat Deity.
The Lookout.
Above the tower suspended in mid air floats a beautiful platform nicknamed "The Lookout".
This is the ancient home of the Guardians of Earth. The top of the platform is flat with swaying palm trees and a shining white palace in the center. The levels below seem to go on forever and the inside it seems is much bigger then the outside. In reality this is very true. The interior of the Lookout does indeed go on forever depending on what room you enter. Endless corridors maze in and out and if someone were to get lost it could be weeks before you find your way out.
The Room of Spirit and Time.
Otherwise called the Hyperbolic Time chamber, the Room of spirit and Time is a parallel dimension of endless nothingness. A place of heavy gravity and strange shifting seasons of scorching fire and freezing cold. The only way into this world is though a single door leading to an extension of the Lookout.
Here time goes very slowly compared to normal space. For every minute in the real world 6 hours passes by in the Time Chamber. In this place you can train in the intense gravity and harsh environments for days and even weeks as mere moments pass on the outside. But its because of this that someone can only last a year of Hyperbolic exposure without causing irreversible damage to the body.
The extension of the Lookout is not only a place to eat and stay during your time in the Chamber but its also the only way out. If the doorway is destroyed the portal to this world will be closed forever sealing anyone inside for all of eternity.
The Pendulum room.
The Pendulum room lies in the center of the Lookout. An empty domed room with a large swinging pendulum in the center with inlays of the seasons and passing planets and stars on the floor and walls. If one were to stand under this device your inner self known as an astroprojection is sent to another time and place. A tool used not only for training but to see events that happened in the past anywhere in the Universe.
