Whispering Towers was the palace stronghold of the House Glengard. Emperor Vralius used it as his own home until construction of Victurus Palace was complete.
It is called the Whispering Towers because its architecture is designed so that whenever the wind blows from the southwest, a hushed whispering sound can be heard throughout its many halls. It is meant to serve as a reminder of the Battle of Arkendorr, which was the final battle that enabled Lord Urgast of Glengard to claim the throne of Faramark long ago; during the entirety of the battle, a strong fog had lingered over the fields, which had given the enemy forces an early advantage. A southwesterly wind appeared on the fourth day and had pushed the fog away, which ended up turning the tide of the battle.
