First appearance: S4E14, Vythorn’s Return Part 1 · watch it on YouTube
The tower in the in-between is the home of Fil, the God of Fate. Fil described it in a single line that sounds like either a welcome or a warning: “Here is my home. It is in between all.” Vythorn came to it while he was alone in the in-between, in S4E14, Vythorn’s Return Part 1 (Vythorn alone in the in-between; the God of Fate). It is cozy, quiet and strange in all the ways a god’s house probably should be.
Description
The tower stands on a carved-out spit of land. The grass around it is undisturbed. A cart sits outside, two torches burn, and seven lanterns glow in the windows, matching the lanterns on the boat. The front door is wooden and has no handle.
Rising up through the tower is a massive young tree with purple branches, flowers and brightly colored leaves.
The top room is warm and lived-in. It has a hearth and a cauldron, and an ornate ceiling hung with lanterns. The room holds books and scrolls, but their spines and pages are all blank. It is a library of a fate-god with nothing written in it.
History
The tower first appeared when Vythorn, the Arbiter, was alone in the in-between. After his death his soul had gone to the Sands of Eternity and slipped free of them, and then Fil sidetracked him, here at the house in between all things. Fil’s realm lies outside every material plane, the Void included, which puts the tower beyond the Void entirely.
