Black Tower Purpose

The Black Tower exists to provide training to those that wish to channel in the service of the Lord Dragon. The training is harsh and rigorous with emphasis placed on results instead of intentions. The training walks the edge of safety, pushing hard. Occasionally men burn out or die from being pushed too hard or fast. This is the major risk of this method. The benefit is that in just a few months time the Black Tower has become a force to be reckoned with.

The M'hael, Mazrim Taim, is the ultimate authority on the farm, having been given that position by the Lord Dragon, himself. In the old tongue, M'hael is a word that simply means leader. His word is law and can only be countermanded by the Lord Dragon. Second to the M'hael on the farm is the Tsorovan'm'hael, or Storm Leader. Next comes the Baijain'm'hael, which means Attack Leader. After this, in descending order of rank are Asha'man, Dedicated and Soldiers.

Regardless of rank, everyone trains every day. To increase the speed with which one gains facility with the One Power, it is used for everything. All chores are done using the Power. In fact, a recruit will not be allowed a hot meal until he learns to use the Power to heat it. In addition, time will be spent each day practicing with the sword and with hand to hand fighting techniques. The ultimate goal of this training is to produce finely honed weapons for the Lord Dragon to use in his fight against the Shadow.
