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

The Tower was wedge-shaped, uneven, with the southeastern point rising far into the air, creating a steep hillside.

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 occured here.[3][4][5][6]
