* '''Quest Priority:''' This is not a mandatory quest, and most characters skip it. It became more popular with v1.08, as the Countess began to drop a Rune nearly every time.
The Tower Tome recounts a story of a Countess who was buried alive. According ancient [essay papers](http://www.bestessays.com.au/) and horrific eye witness accounts the The castle in which so many cruel deeds took place fell rapidly to ruin. Rising over the buried dungeons, a solitary tower is all that remains. The Countess's fortune was said to be divided among the clergy, although some say that more remains unfound, still buried in the tower.
The trigger, reading the [[Moldy Tome]], is not required for this quest. You can just find the ruins of the tower in the Black Marsh, and descend into it. It's a very nasty area, one of the hardest in Act One, with small rooms and numerous boss and champion monster packs. The levels are very small though, and on the fifth and lowest level there are two rooms with dozens of stacks of gold in each, and several chests. The end of the fifth level has a room with a glowing golden chest guarded by [[The Countess]], a melee-fighting [[Corrupt Rogue]].
