Before the Flood of Ages what can be seen of Aral today was the roof of a huge stone tower constructed by the Elder Ones the area known as the eye was a spiral staircase that formed the body of the tower,the mountain as it is seen today was the exit from this staircase onto the roof.When the flood came the of Majaz were saved from the flood by climbing the stairs and out onto Aral,sadly the mountaintop has since collapsed and sealed the entrance to the stairwell.
