| Of all the districts, Tower District is easily the least conforming to any major layout, plan, or even truly homogenization. Large portions of the ancient keep that once stood within the walls had been destroyed, and during its restoration, it was divided into several smaller buildings. Kintsugi Tower, arguably the most splendid part of the ancient keep to survive the destruction, is where the council first elected to meet. Other buildings outside the walls of the keep were claimed for ease of access and to ensure the security of the area. Over the past twenty years, the city has settled and become a bit less haphazard, but the Tower district still maintains its "organized chaos" design. | Of all the districts, Tower District is easily the least conforming to any major layout, plan, or even truly homogenization.

| Housing is abundant, but odd. A number of beautiful houses made of marble and stone, patched after whatever befell the old city. Not many people can afford the restoration and upkeep, however, those that can have undeniably the fanciest looking properties. At present, all of these wonderful abodes are occupied. | Housing is abundant, but odd. A number of beautiful houses made of marble and stone, patched after whatever befell the old city.

Unfortunately, in Nonagon, Year 24, [[brightshore:events:fall_of_kintsugi_tower|the tower was destroyed]], with rubble being all that remains. | This prismatic tower was once the most startling feature of the Tower District, and possibly the entire city.
