Urza's Tower

This page is about the Terisiaran location. For the card types, see Urza's and Tower.
Urza's Tower was Urza's stronghold in eastern Terisiare during the Brothers' War of Dominaria.Jeff Grubb (1998). The Brothers' War. Wizards of the Coast. Though it was sacked and left abandoned for millennia, it is still standing.
==Description==
Urza's Tower was well hidden in a mist-shrouded vale in the Kher Ridges somewhere to the west or southwest of Penregon.
Legend had it that Urza built this tower to be his workshop away from the horrors of the Brothers' War, and it showed in the care he'd poured into its golden accents, its ornate carvings, its assembly armatures — the kind of care he'd never been able to extend to the people in his life. 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 tower is surrounded by a narrow greenbelt ring of trees. Closer to the tower, a small copse of mitab vines was planted and maintained by Wrenn's magic.
===History===
Here, Urza engineered mechanical constructs to fight his bitter struggle against his brother Mishra.
After the War, the tower became known as the Iron Tower and the White Tower. After the unsuccessful Siege of Penregon, the rising Church of Tal mounted a crusade to destroy the tower. Although they smashed all the machines in the tower, they did not break the tower itself, instead marching on towards Mishra's Forge.
Four thousand years later the edifice remained standing. When visited by Teferi, Saheeli and Kaya, the tower itself was in pristine shape, if desolate. The mystery of the tower was how it had evaded becoming settled by bandits or wizards through the centuries, despite the thick fog of the valley. Teferi chalked this up to sheer luck.
The three planeswalkers and Jodah installed and activated Saheeli's Temporal Anchor in the eastern wing of the tower, where Urza had previously housed his grand showroom. Saheeli developed and installed several technologies for the tower's defense, including mechanical soldiers, turrets, mechanical dromedaries, and powerstone lances.
