The tower is located atop the northeastern hill. The accessible interior consists of a single room with an altar.

Duchess's Private Study[edit]

The entrance lies through a trap door in the northeastern section of the courtyard, beneath the hill upon which Tavia's Tower sits. A backpack is located to the right as you enter. The lead for a Soiled Tapestry Scrap can be found in a broken part of the northwestern wall.

Giovesse Mausoleum[edit]

The entrance to the mausoleum is located beneath the bridge leading to Tavia's Tower. The room contains an altar and is ringed with statues.

Notes[edit]

  • Castle Giovesse also appeared in the in-universe historical fiction series 2920, The Last Year of the First Era as the place where the paranoid Emperor Reman III imprisoned his wife Tavia for seventeen years over fears that she was plotting a rebellion against him. Her Imperial Majesty eventually committed suicide by falling from the open window of her tower four days after receiving word that her son Juilek had been wrongfully assassinated in place of his father. Part of the ruins still bear her name in 2E 582.
