THE FOUNDING TEN
The Original Hightower Founding Players
HIGHTOWER BLADES
Ten players believed before Production Run No. 1 was fulfilled.
Ten different stories. One beginning.
The Founding Ten will only be written once.

THE FOUNDING TEN IS COMPLETE
On September 17, 2026, Raheem Martin became Founding Player #10 and completed the original Hightower Founding Ten.
Production Run No. 1 was already home.
The first believers were in place.
And the first chapter of Hightower was officially written.

A MESSAGE FROM PACO
The goal was never simply to find ten customers.
It was to find ten people who believed early enough to help write the beginning.
They came from different places, different professions and different levels of the game — but each one took a chance on Hightower before the story was finished.
That group can never be recreated.
These were the ten.
Thank you for believing in the vision.
Paco Morell
