Any of the villians of Elysia, that could not be slain or banished, are locked up in the Dark Tower. An Order of Mages known as The Oblivion’s Edge guard the Dark Tower. This order was established as a Ducal Order but their existence has been cast into the shadows purposely to avoid the eyes of evil forces. The city looks completely empty but well kept and not in disarray because of a magical glamour mainained by the Oblivion’s Edge. Citizens don’t appear to stay in the city proper just on the outskirts. Under the surface the town is populated but those citizens are cloaked.

Under his cruel and wicked mind, Demitri waged war on the Mages of . Demitri intercepted all correspondence The Oblivion’s Edge attempted to send to the Duke seeking aid, locking The Oblivion’s Edge into a hopeless silent war. Demitri is working for someone known as the Green-Eyed Demon expecting as his payment to be returned to Valdrick upon granting Green-Eyed Demon access to the Dark Tower. In the end all of the mages save the Human High Archon Solomon Zeneth fell to Dimitri’s tactics. Dimitri could not gain the secrets of the tower from of them due to a mystical force that was present on the mages.
