Urza's Tower was Urza's stronghold in eastern Terisiare during the Brothers' War of Dominaria.[1]
Description
It was well hidden in the Kher Ridges somewhere to the west or southwest of Penregon.[2]
History
Legend had it that Urza built this tower to be his personal workshop away from the horrors of the Brothers' War, and it showed in the care he'd poured to its golden accents, its orniary, its assembly armatures — the kind of care he'd never been able to extend to the people in his life.[3] Here, he engineered mechanical constructs to fight a bitter struggle against his brother Mishra.
After the War, the tower became known as the Iron Tower and the White Tower. The rising Church of Tal mounted a crusade to destroy it.[2][4]
The attack must have failed, because four thousand years later the edifice still remained standing.[3] When visited by Teferi, Sahelli and Kaya, the tower itself was in pristine shape, if desolate. Stone and metal were meticulously fitted together with no seams or cracks, as if the tower had been willed into existence rather than put together by hands. The mystery of the tower was how it had evaded ransacking through the centuries. There had been no signs of raiders establishing camps, no evidence of opportunistic wizards setting up their laboratories.
The three planeswalkers installed and activated Saheeli's Temporal Anchor in the hall of the tower.[5]
