Tor Gvalch'ca, That Undvik Tower [Sort of Spoilers]
First of all I'd like to say that Undvik is probably my favourite area in the entire game. The whole atmosphere there, the sounds, the monsters, i find it to be the most fantasy-esque area in the map, almost like an alternate world compared to other parts of game, comparable to the areas in Through Time and Space. From the moment Geralt set foot there in Lord of Undvik, the one big question was what the hell is that big tower. Two playthroughs in, and I'm still not sure what it is.
Not sure if this question has already been asked, but the fact that this tower, known as Tor Gvalch'ca, plays such a pivotal role in the ending, I'm quite disappointed that there weren't any mentions of it in any of the in game books, or random conversations with druids/mages considering that it's one hell of a huge ancient artifact with immense power. No warnings from Ermion, and none of the members of Lodge seem to notice it either in the last act in Undvik. I'm only halfway through Time of Contempt in the Witcher books now, so is there any mention of Tor Gvalch'ca and/or Undvik in the remaining books? Or is Undvik and Tor Gvalch'ca something created solely for Witcher 3? Even the Giant Oak Tree in Velen gets more exposition than this tower.
