The Tower of N, in an alternate universe.
The Tower of N was a building in the Shri Capital City, which has stood for at least 1000 years. Ginkus has a close association with the tower, though the nature of that association is currently unknown. A secret tunnel exists between Ginkus' capital building and the Tower of N.
The tower is mostly a cubical building with the letter N written all over it, for unknown reasons, as well as that letter displayed on top. It also has missing chunks, as if some giant had taken bites out of it. The cause of this is unknown. The building is likely a research lab of some sort.
History[]
Cooperation Era[]
During the time of the Zor'L'Ti Cooperation Citadel's construction, Ganakos apparently used it as his "Palace in the North", as he built a secret train leading from the Citadel to the Tower. He refers to it multiple times in his sphere journal entries, though he never calls it the Tower of N or mentions its characteristics. It's also possible that the palace was demolished and thus isn't the same building as the modern Tower of N. (Squids in Forests series: "Fried Calamari")
Other Worlds[]
During Ginkus' 1000 year sleep, the Tower of N was seen in many different worlds, occupying different roles. It appears to be the same building throughout, as after it was damaged by a giant crab in one universe, the damage was visible in other worlds as well. (Sketchbook: "Xaq's Sketchbook 1")

After escaping from an underground facility, Pierre, Modri, Zunto, and a Fig were drawn to the Tower of N. Inside, they met Zoovac and became separated. The building was filled with Figs. Pierre had to ascend three levels, and ultimately succumbed to her darker urges as Zoovac had planned. (Pierre Series: "Descent")
