The tower stands at the eastern edge of a circular stone platform at the juncture of three ancient Ægyptian roads. A ring of obelisks, carved with the mysterious Ægyptian runes, encircles the platform; the easternmost pair have been fused into the tower's walls. A well of pure water can be found at the platform's center. With Miach's aid, the magi have formed raised stone borders around sections of the platform and flooded them with water. Augustinius has used vis to fill these areas with soil, and the magi have planted and shaded this potential garden in the hopes of making it bloom.
The tower is thirty feet wide and rises seventy feet into the air, forming eight floors above ground and one below. The platform itself is ninety feet in diameter. The three roads leave at 120º angles from one another. One heads westward to the city of Antaeopolis, now claimed by the covenant of Radix Potentiae; the others lead northeast and southeast, into the trackless desert.
Covenant Library
The covenant library is sparse, though perhaps larger than might be expected for such an inexperienced band of magi. Fortunately, in addition to texts brought by each magus from their home covenants, the library contains several books provided by the covenant's sponsors at Ai Strati.
Covenant Resources
Given the covenant's location in the midst of a remote desert, its dearth of material and magical wealth should surprise no one. Aside from a near-endless supply of sand, Ænigma's most valuable mundane resource consists of its well, which provides cool, clean water in all seasons. The labor-intensive covenant garden provides some food, but has not removed the need to import food from elsewhere. Magically, however, the well and the platform provide a measure of valuable vis.
