The Guardian Tower

The Guardian Tower of BattleOn

Standing tall and watching over our beloved home, the town of Battleon is the Guardian Tower. It is a hall of justice where many of the world's greatest heroes come together to ensure the safety of our world. Within its walls, heroes train the the way of the Guardian-- taking challenges that test their skills and character. As their rank within the order grows, so does their access to things within the Guardian armory, library, stables, and... well, there are some parts of the Tower which are carefully kept secrets. For good reason, The Guardian Tower is a place of magic which was founded to protect the world from being taken over by invaders who would seek to conquer, enslave, or annihilate us. Should any seeking to do us harm learn what actually lies beneath the Guardian Tower, they would stop at nothing to get it, and to find a way to use it against us.



It is known that there are actually Eight Guardian Towers in the world. Each, found in the most remote and dangerous places in the world. As our story opens... communication will all of them has suddenly been lost.



After the countless invasions on the Town of Battleon, the Guardian Tower has been re-built and expanded with a sizable new structure behind the original towers. What could possibly require such a huge amount of space is beyond this author's imagination.



The rooms we know of include:

The main hall with the Book of Lore

The Guardian Armory

The Guardian Library

The Guardian Training/Danger Room

The Guardian Stables

The Guardian Council in the War room (2nd Floor)

HUGE Main Room towards the back (Unknown purpose)

Another Room (Unknown)

Rumors that there is a secret passage... but probably just a rumor.



The Guardian Blade

A magical weapon forged with elemental dragon magic. A Guardian is bestowed his first sword, but must undergo quests to increase the magic weapons strength and powers.



Developer's Notes

The Guardian Tower contains a bonus plot-line that runs parallel with AdventureQuest 3D's main story. Fans of the original AdventureQuest, as well as DragonFable and AQWorlds, will find it finally reveals the true secrets of the Guardian Towers and the Order itself. Also beware... The Seekers are monstrous horde of Guardian Hunters who are working towards a vile purpose that would effect all heroes of our world.



The original AdventureQuest was launched way back in 2002. The game was intended to just be free and fun for everyone in the world to enjoy. But the unexpected and highly explosively popularity of the game created bandwidth and server costs that I could not afford all by myself. The players who pitched into keep the game alive became our first Guardians. Just as the word "Guardian" reflects your role as a hero in-game, it also reflects your real-life role of protecting our game network and keeping the game online and growing. People who become Guardians... truly are Guardians of our games in both the online and real world. For this new game, AdventureQuest 3D, we choose to also use the term Guardians. I guess we should have called it "Guardians 3D" to differentiate-- but that does not sound as cool as just "GUARDIAN"

Those who answer the call of the Guardian and make the personal sacrifice to be granted access will find it a worthy cause.



Guardian Tower Design!

In this game, the Guardian NPCs will not just be generic NPCs, but each will have their own personality, backstory and purpose.

The Guardian Tower has finally entered production. The art for the Tower's interior was completed a while ago, but we were waiting on game features to be completed so we could begin to assemble and code it. Yesterday, we had a "spark meeting" -- this is where Yergen, Cysero and I get together and do initial design. Today we are having a "campfire meeting" this is where we get the entire team together for about an hour so that everyone can add their unique ideas and creativity in too. Want to join us?

What else would you would like to see in the Tower?

OK, I said what else but you do not know a few of the things in the tower yet-- we definitely have a few surprises planned for you. But if you have some really fun ideas or things you think absolutely must be in the Tower, we would love to hear it! Comment in the section below. Battle on!

In terms of your last statement however, it should be noted that you do not need good graphics to have a good game
