I need help with Eye of the World lore

[Ephrem Elpidius]

I was wondering, do we ever find out what the steel round tower is? When Thom, Mat, and Rand are by themselves on the Arinelle River on Captain Domon's ship sailing to WhiteBridge, they pass a giant steel tower, with "no entrance or windows or anything" just a giant steel round tower... Mat says he thinks there is treasure inside.

A yes or no would do just fine, if you happen to know the name of the tower if it even has one that would be good enough too so I can look it up in my Wheel of Time companion.

@Ephrem Elpidius I’ve spoiled this for myself but I do know the answer:

Spoiler: Wheel of Time Full Series

The Tower of Ghenjei

Nadezhda!!! I am so sorry you spoiled it for yourself, why are you helping?!?!?! Ah, I feel so bad now... I don't like spoiling things for people that's why I posted this in the reread thread...

Regardless... thank you!

Worry not! I spoiled this for myself weeks ago, I just happened to remember a piece of the article that spoiled me. My fault for looking into the library when I was impatient!

Knowing what the tower is, is only a minor Spoiler @Nadezhda al'Lanahrin

I think I figured it out in Lord of Chaos, but didn't really think much of it until later in the series

Do on mentions a couple of other things as well. One he claims kills people who come close. We don’t find out what that is. Or even if it is real.

oh? that's a shame. I wish we knew more about it. this is really my only critique of wheel of time, RJ left too many questions for me lol

I think the kills were real. Even if they were done in his dreams, the darkfriends he killed died in the waking world
