Insistence Altars

Insistence Altars are small votive stations positioned in crucial crossroads around the Tower; each Altar is dedicated to a specific aspect of Insistence, often determined by local beliefs and the maker's preferences.

They are composed of a soft foam base, upon which a model of the Tower is raised; usually it also contains a relic belonging to a specific hero, preserved for eternity in a solution of RadioGel.

The most precious Altars have a complex structure, including decorations, votive icons and ex-votos. Even the most modest one, though, are incredibly never touched or vandalized: it is said that the transgressors disappear, never to be found again.

The most devout inhabitants of the Tower believe that Altars are crucial for its survival, and thus insist in their proximity, in order to be blessed with rich gifts and cotillons. It is not universally accepted that such a miracle is possible; however, many swear that they got lost, only to be found again at the last Altar they visited
