Tower of Power

The Tower of Power was the home and laboratory of the Wandering Philosopher Psychic Harbinger Portent. It was very tall and, oddly enough, not as powerful as advertised, although its owner, knowing the secrets of High Elemenstation, was very powerful indeed. It was also quite difficult to heat effectively. This was the reason that closets with various blankets and quilts were positioned strategically around the tower. Unfortunately, these closets made up only a small percentage of the total number of closets in the tower, many of the others housing portals to the Nastier Planes, and other things that one does not expect to nor wish to encounter when seeking a blanket. Needless to say, the tower was not hospitable to guests. According to legend, one of the doors in the Tower leads to neither a blanket nor a portal to the Nastier Planes, and instead contains a vastly powerful magical artifact that will grant its wearer eternal life and wealth. This is almost certainly made up in order to get rid of unwanted guests.

The tower makes a notable appearance in Book 12, as it is the location of Battle of the Towers of Elemenstation Power, one of the Epic seventeen final battles. It is also featured as the title song from the somewhat disturbing rap album It's More Than a Tower.

Many of Harbinger Portent's most famous Furniliars made their home in the tower, such as Frank the Couch, his exceedingly comfy couch furniliar.
