The Celestial Tower is a ziggurat-styled edifice which at its base has a radius of one kilometre. Each successive "step" in the tower is 10 meters tall and has a radius 10 meters narrower than the previous step meaning the tower is also 1 kilometre tall and consists of 100 levels. Obviously the Tower was created by the gods, and each level is stocked with what are intended to be increasingly difficult challenges created by the gods to discourage ascent to the top. But if someone or a group of someones make to the very top, the stairway at the centre of the topmost level leads to a platform suspended in a liminal space where each of the victorious ascenders will find the god they sacrificed to before beginning the ascent waiting for them and favourably inclined to grant their petition.
