The Sphere of Kaatos

The Sphere of Kaatos (Etarad Sabban, Esaaf Drudach, Wizard Ward, Calimport). This is one of the most significant sights in Etarad Sabban - —the wizard’'s home is a massive silver sphere floating about 18 feet above the courtyard beneath it. It has no apparent doors, windows, or defenses, and it continuously spins rapidly, preventing anyone from jumping or landing on it and holding on. Inside, Kaato's’ lair is much larger than it seems, and the entire interior surface of the sphere is his workshop, library, and living space (all held to the outer surface of the sphere by the spinning forces). Guests learn to enter by becoming insubstantial and passing through the wall, but uninvited guests trying the same passage become stretched across the surface of the sphere and are slain for trying to steal from the paranoid but more often kindly collector of Imaskari relics and artifacts (N hem M14).
