—Kaladin's observations [1]

The Tower is one of the largest plateaus on the Shattered Plains on Roshar.[1] It is the furthest easterly plateau discovered by the Alethi forces. It is oddly shaped, unusually massive, and chasmfiends seem to be fond of using it for pupating.[2]

The Alethi Highprinces were beaten 29 times, never winning a skirmish on the Tower. Dalinar lost there twice alone and once on a joint attack with Torol Sadeas.[2]

The Battle of the Tower occurred here.[3][4][5][6]
