    If you spend your days on .org, you'll most likely know what this is.

    And apologies for overdoing the League nomenclature here; I'm a League buff ;)

    The Riven Towers are a massive, 9 tower complex that I have worked on ever since joining Skyblock in early August.

    The main tower, the Riven Tower, is 57 stories tall, each floor being 3.5m tall except for the first story, which is 7.5m tall. It currently houses a nether wart farm from the second to fourth floors, a spawn on the 47th floor, and a storage floor on the 56th floor. I plan to have "premium" apartments from the 48th-54th floor, the top two stories being my penthouse ;). Every apartment on those floors are booked for a later build date, so if anyone was interested in reserving a room on these floors, sorry. For the floors below the spawn (47th) floor, I have no idea what's going there yet.

    There are four towers surrounding the Riven Tower, each identical to each other:
    (North) Demacia, (South) Ionia, (West) Noxus, and (East) Zaun Towers. Each will probably be filled with mid-sized apartments, i.e. 2 apartments per floor. (I got a suggestion from someone that I should make one of the towers a prison lol)

    Finally, there are four "skytowers" floating near the spawn, each identical and connected by a skybridge to the 47th floor, called Quinn, Vayne, Ezreal, and Jayce. Because they are close to the island spawn floor, I will have shops in each tower. The Quinn Skytower already has an enchanted item shop I regularly keep stocked.

    So why am I building a tower?
    Well, I'm known by many across many creative servers (mostly 1.5.2 and 1.6.4) for building ridiculously huge towers/skyscrapers. After a while I thought to myself, Hmm, creative does not pose a significant challenge in building a tower. Let's take it to Survival, where I have to craft/buy/mine my materials. Not only that, let's take it to a skyblock server, where I have even more limitations on materials and mining. And that's how I came to Skyblock to build a tower.
