Tower of Darkness

The Tower of Darkness is a dark tower across the waters from Fire Island where Blazes can be found.

First named in Grampa in Oz, ch. 10

Grampa shaded his eyes and, looking across the green, sulphurous waters surrounding Fire Island, made out a great tower of Darkness.

    • The dark tower was wet and clammy and made of moss that soaked up the rays of light from Fire Island as a sponge soaks up water.
