	The Tower stands on a lonely headland, rife with potent natural energies, called the Tilphussian Reach. Built in accordance to eldritch plans that tap into the Reach's magical auras, the Tower of Light and Shadow cuts a striking figure against the gleaming sea - it calls to mind a lighthouse, albeit one build half of pale marble and half of obsidian, the two materials ~~spiraling~~ around one another as the tower rises towards its peak. Within, the tower is split into tier after tier of bubbling pools and pans and flasks and pipes, all filled with liquids of dark blues and blacks and purples, their hue becoming increasingly atramentous the further down the tower they drip and distil. At the very base of the tower, a shimmering well of distilled Night dominates much of the ground floor.

	Peculiar vines worm their way up throughout the structure, their roots dipped in the well of Night and their flowers peeling open to emit intense and vivid perfumes. Despite the relatively recent creation of the tower, these vines already possess thick, gnarled stems and have cracked or pushed through areas of masonry as if they had been spreading for a hundred years. Also unusual is the menagerie of bright, exotic birds that clamour and flap through the tower's interior, pestering the magicians who sift the pans for Night vis and watch the surface of the well for visions. The magician tenders tap the vines for the resin that the Night-touched flora exudes, refining it into magically potent substances; the birds, however, seem to have no obviously useful purpose.

	Plans to build an arcane structure harnessing the power of the Tilphussian Reach were first mooted in mid-380YE by a group of magical architects and scholars who had spent years working on their designs. The nature of the Reach allowed for the construction of a tower that might draw on the magic of Spring, Autumn or Night; the Conclave soon declared its preference for the Night design to be implemented, selecting the work of the noted architect Hypothesis of Flamespire. The tower was [[commission\|commissioned]] by and [[Construct_night_mana_sinecure_in_Redoubt\|built]] under the oversight of Vitore van Temeschwar, [[Arcane Architect]] of the Conclave.

	During construction there was a further complication - the Ribbon of Salt, a powerful Spring [[regio]] off the coast of Redoubt, [[Series_of_dreams#Ribbon_of_Embers\|erupted]] in a potent display of ~~Night~~ magical energies, saturating the southern Redoubt shoreline and causing havoc with the finely-tuned magical artifice of Hypothesis' designs. Quick action by ritualists on-site and careful readjustments by Hypothesis ensured that the damage was contained. The tangled plants that interpenetrate the tower, and the peculiar birds that roost there, were ''not'' part of the original designs - but a consequence of the night energies interacting with those of the Tilphussian Reach. Initially seen as pests, a young [[Urizen_magical_traditions#Seers\|Seer]] among the [[coven]] working on the tower discovered the hidden properties in the sap produced by the creeping night vines.
