Red Tower
The Red Tower appears on different worlds, sometimes it just sits there for a night then vanishes at sunrise, other times it waits a century, spewing forth endless hordes of hunters.
Some say the Red Tower is actually a pair of towers acting as a portal from the Far Realm.
Hunters resemble skinless hounds with four tentacles sprouting from their back. They are attuned to magic, for they unerringly run down, rend and devour all users of magic.
Hunters are tireless and do not sleep, but they must feed upon the flesh of creatures that use magic to survive and can live for a week and a day without eating.
Hunters are aberrations that are somehow related to displacer beasts. They have spell resistance 15 and the feat Reckless Offense, for the first week out of the tower they suffer from Light Blindness.
The disease-ridden moon beasts come from a subterranean kingdom on the dark side of a frozen moon. Some say that when the Red Tower appeared on their world, they ate the Hunters and went inside to look for more.
A human-like race who call themselves the Law Bringers have also come out of the Red Tower on occasion. They are tall, pale skinned and gaunt, most keep their heads shaved and dress in gray leather armor.
Law Bringers are a race and a prestige class.
