Solusek Ro’s Tower
Solusek Ro’s Tower is the burning stronghold of the Burning Prince, son of Fennin Ro, and the path to the Plane of Fire.
The Burning Prince
That Solusek Ro, the Burning Prince, with his crown of flame and spear of fire, rules the Plane of Flame from his mighty Burning Tower. Fire elementals, efreeti and many other fire-loving creatures live in his realm of blazing landscapes, under a burning red sky full of smoke, smouldering embers and fiery rain.
Mortals credit him with raising the Serpent’s Spine Mountains and with destroying the Elddar Forest, which made the Deserts of Ro.
Father and son
The question stays open: does Solusek Ro serve the will of his father, Fennin Ro, the Tyrant of Fire and Lord of the Plane of Fire, or his own destructive, power-hungry cause? It does not answer.
It lists the zone as indoor, rates it 65 to 75 and notes that live servers need level 57 to enter without a flag.
The Solusek Ro arc
The arc runs Jiva, Xuzl, the Protector of Dresolik, Arlyxir and Rizlona, then Solusek Ro. At that point, it says, you are flagged for the Plane of Fire.
The same page lists two quests that give zone-in access without counting for progression: one for the Tower itself and one for Solusek Ro’s chamber. A fan guide of the time adds that the flag for rescuing Karana in the Bastion of Thunder is part of what opens the Tower.

Reaching the Tower
Player guides join the Tower to the Plane of Tranquility and to Doomfire, the Burning Lands, and Doomfire back to the Tower. That makes this one of the few planes on the map with a link that does not run through the hub.
Our map draws the Tower as its own island east of the inner ring, with a portal line to Tranquility and a short line north to Doomfire.
