Silent Tower
The Silent Tower, often called simply the Tower by the Silent Ones themselves, is the headquarters for the entire order. Hundreds of feet tall, it stands on an otherwise featureless plain less than a day's ride south of Niole Dra. It is visible from many miles away in every direction.
The Silent Tower is said by Uhas of Neheli to predate the arrival of the Neheli in the Sheldomar Valley. It is clear that such a structure would be nearly impossible to create with the magic and technology of the present day.
On the ground level are the Receiving Chambers. Above that is the Hall of Lorgyr. Next are the Cells of the Anchorites. Above those are the Archive Arcanum. The next story is the Chamber of the Elders. Above those are a collection of windowless buildings used for housing great artifacts: the Sanctum Maleficarum. Above those are the Offices of the Wyrd, and on the roof is the Chantry.
Beneath the tower are many underground structures. The first level from the surface are the Cells of the Aspirants and their Meeting Halls. The level beneath that is the Libraries and Cells of the Pedagogues. The third level is Storage Chambers and Dungeons. The fourth layer is known as the Well, and the fifth is the Cenotaph. Even the Silent Ones dare not enter the Cenotaph.
