General

• Built in 1996 (259 AC)
• The Ascendancy Point is over 1,300m tall and is the tallest building in Perplex City.
  • surpassing the Noh Tower by more than 400 metres.
• From the Ascendancy Point it is possible to take in the whole city.
• Known for its high-priced housing and expensive boutiques
• Main entrance is on Ascendancy Way (which runs parallel to Fivebridges Lane).
• Welcoms millions of tourists through its doors every year.

• Comprendo is the in-house financial association, serving all the financial needs of every tennant

• The Building's internal systems (environmental, security, & business) are all completely tied to each other, meaning no one element of the system doesn't integrate with any ther system.
• This is done with the ideal goal of making the Point the pinnacle of luxuriant living.
• The potential (and inevitable) backlash of this system integration, however, is that when one thing fails, everything fails. The mightiest chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
• This sort of system failure has been happening, with an increasing amount of difficulty, and embarrassment.

It's the tallest building in the city. It's ummm... (goes to look up info) apparently 1.3km tall, and is just amazing inside. Like, it's so huge that people say you could live for weeks without leaving it. (It'd be kinda weird to do that though :-))But they have all these great restaurants near the top - the sweet rolls at the Red Hot Bakery are just fantastic. Ooh, and the 125th floor is this foresty sort of garden. Sooo peaceful." -- Scarlett Kiteway at Thescarlettkite.com
