Oh thank you! I admittedly forgot about what happened in the Crystal Tower; I thought Xande was just some ruler but didn't realize he was the ruler over all of Allag o_o

Also your answer about the Antitower brings up a different question. Does the Antitower lead directly to Hydalin? I'm confused, I thought it was just a passage into the aetherial realm. Did the WoL come across Hydalin by pure happenstance? Or did Hydalin come to the WoL?
