Tower of Ghenjei

The Tower of Ghenjei is a gateway into the world of the Eelfinn and the Aelfinn.
It lies near the River Arinelle ten days north of Whitebridge, and it is a solid and spotless metal tower, two hundred feet high without any doors or windows. There is no opening on it; if one draws the symbol for the game of Snakes and Foxes on the tower's surface with a bronze knife, then a doorway will appear.
The Tower of Ghenjei is accessible through both the waking world and Tel'aran'rhiod. Once someone enters the Tower Of Ghenjei and moves away from the doorway, the doorway (probably) cannot be found again (maybe it disappears, maybe it is just a matter of orientating, and it is extremely hard to leave the Tower. Before moving away from the doorway, it is possible to leave and the doorway disappear afterwards. In Tel'aran'rhiod, the leaving is all but impossible.
Bayle Domon points out the tower to Rand al'Thor and Matrim Cauthon after Rand spots something glinting in the distance while traveling on the Spray down the Arinelle. Captain Domon says that the tower is a marker for river traders.
