Funcom has provided us with this internally conducted interview with Carola Berens, one of the developers working on the Iron Tower dungeon for Age of Conan.

Question:

Can you tell us a bit about the background story for this dungeon?

Carola Berens:

The background story for the Iron Tower is deeply involved with the ongoing conflict in the common district. Anoki, the leader of the Daughters, has gathered her officers and invaded the tower. Her reasons are yet unknown, but word on the street has it that she is trying to free a specific prisoner. She has successfully bribed the tower's guards and many captives stand by her side in exchange for their freedom. There is only one obstacle that she hasn't overcome yet. A priest of Mitra named Desumo had himself imprisoned voluntarily. He made it his one task in life to prevent anyone from getting close to this prisoner. He converted many of the detained criminals to follow the ways of Mitra and support his cause. Now, his cult is all that stands between Anoki and her goal. But which one is in the right and which one is in the wrong? That's for the player to find out.
