Scouting towers are 11 high points across Vale Sangora that you climb at night to survey the land. Each one reveals nearby points of interest, so climb them early.
SvartrauSvartrau is the capital of Vale Sangora, the city at the center of the valley. It has the most vendors, three scouting towers and Greifberg Castle, so you will keep coming back.
Vale SangoraVale Sangora is the valley in the Carpathian Mountains where the game takes place. Brencis's vampires rule it, and you have 30 days to free your family from them.The 11 are Church, Briar Sloughs, Maragir Wealds, St. Tryna's Grove, Market, Cathedral, Neustadt, Boar's Back, Rockfalls, Silts and Tantari. Market, Cathedral and Neustadt are the three inside Svartrau City.
Go at night and use Shadowstep to jump between ledges. Some, such as Boar's Back and Tantari, also need Planeshift for the last stretch.
Each survey fills in the map around you. Look for chests near the top: the Church Tower balcony holds the Unnatural Resilience Manual, and Boar's Back gives a Potent Blood Manual and the Duelist's Pendant.
