The foreboding towers first appeared in Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress. They were similar in many ways to dungeons, but grew more difficult the higher one climbed -- and they could be as tall as 15 stories. Towers were known for their oddly-placed cryptic writings.
This breed of architecture disappeared once Minax was slain by the Stranger and the timeline returned to normal.

Lore[]
Perhaps the world of evil became overcrowded, for its forces began building dungeons skyward; towers are upside down dungeons. Watch for secret messages in unlikely places.
