"It's the Hillchanger Tower. The one that appears on Aescwine Hill and then travels other places. I've thought for some time that represented another power."[1]

Aescwine Hill is a landmark near the outskirts of Ealing Gardens.[2] The summit is a popular painting spot for landscape artists,[3] if they can brave the enormous scorpions that infest the slopes.[4] It is also one of the resting points for Hillchanger Tower, which travels across the Hinterlands[5][6] but returns atop Aescwine every midnight.[7]

The aforementioned scorpions are the size of cats and unusually "well-trained."[8] Their venom can only be extracted when Hillchanger Tower is at Aescwine; otherwise they produce only smoke.[9]
