See also Greg's squibbling about Star Towers and Solar Towers in Supplement Con of Tokyo. He said if its map should be officialized, you should add many Star Towers around the city aside from Original Buildings.>>

Dear Mr. PRAX, maybe I omit these mentions from the text.... Please add these page numbers if you think it is appropriate. I think Buserian Cult administrates Yuthuppan Star Story Towers.

You have not to make any effort to own common with my obscure and illogical image Lighthouse of Port = Torch = Scepter = Towers together.

From Peter Metcalph's post to HW Digest:

Ten Regalia
GROY p. 25 Anaxial p. 50 Khordavu
FS p. 54 Red Emperor

I don't think these originals have survived till today. But these are always used for the Ten Tests, originally Murharzarm passed Ten Tests imposed by gods of each Ten Cities. (IMHO) But it seems that Anaxial and TakenEgi found the way not to try literally enacting the Ten Tests attributing to Ten Cities, for they could find only seven appropriate cities in their domain.

1 Feathered Cap of Mernita: Imperial regalia. (The High Crown? Tiara? Mernita to Torang?)
2 Vestments of Disclosure: "which everyone can see". Imperial Regalia. (Always new made in Raibanth)
3 Sandals of Protection: "keep the pure from touching the impure".

         Imperial Regalia. (Sandals of Innocence? Nivorah to Jillaro) 4 Girdle of Command: "its medallion buckle bears the countenance of

         Strength incarnate and brings it to the wearer".  Imperial
         Regalia. (Girdle of Strength? Alkoth)
5 Bow of Domination:  "a wonderful and divine weapon for with it
         a man can reach the sky and from that place draw down the Right of
         domination".  Rumoured to have shot down the Moon. (Elempur to
Lost?)
6 Low Crown of Rule: "encircles the world like a wall and protects all

         within from the evils outside". Imperial Regalia. (Diadem? Deumalos? to Lost?)
7 Orb of Authority: "It gives protection and insight, as well as power

         to rule". Imperial Regalia. (The Orb of the Eye? to Lost?) 8 Scepter of Order: "allows the Emperor to direct the divine regard

         upon whatever he desires, thereby illuminating it and laying
         aside all falsehood which deny the order of Yelm".  Imperial
         Regalia. (aka Staff of Heaven? Yuthuppa)
9 Roost of Tholm:  "This great creature is an extension of the Emperor,
         and from its etherial heights can see everything in the world.
         Furthermore, it may be sent anyplace to bear the presence of
         the Emperor into the World".  Imperial Regalia. (The Imperial
Eagle? Verapur? to Dinzizzi?)
10 Mantle of Sovereignty: "Justice without Measure". Imperial Regalia. (The Cloak of Justice or the Clasp of Manimat? Raibanth, Haranshold? Because once Antirius cut into pieces the Cloak.)

I don't think I could grasp the whole of lists and confusions of Plentonius in GROY in this mail at least for now. (I am recently busy...) Perhaps Greg know something more.

The number Five and Ten are not unusual in DH setting. Holy Numbers....

Someone denied (I forgot who he was) Blue Moon Plateau is on the location of Mernita.
But maybe we should leave these matter off before Dawn, IMHO.
