The Dream of Dual Towers

The tower of Might and Valour. The tower of Cunning and Shadow. They have risen once more, and a champion of man must be chosen to serve the gods. The champion of man must withstand the peril and trials set in the towers. Only then will the champion ascend to the realm of gods. If the champion were to fail this perilous journey, all will be lost, the gods will send this world into oblivion and all we have created will cease to exist. Century after Century, the towers will rise and strike panic into the world. A civilisation was built around these towers, and a champion was to be selected in that civilisation. We are called, the Gods’ Chosen. Every day we would pray to the gods for their never-ending benevolence, for their never-ending wisdom, we would never question them, because we have proof of their existence. Through this a regime was born. They are called the High Priests, and they would select the champion from the populace. The High Priests will never choose their own to climb the towers, they would rather live a comfortable life rather than save the human race from impending doom. They are the most skilled at surviving the dangers posed by the towers, yet they still choose champions among the common folk.
