The '''Tower''' was a location in the [[Last City]], located along the outer wall. It was the headquarters of the [[Vanguard]], home of the [[Speaker]], and where Guardians returned to report and rest between missions.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-17-destiny-bungie-unveils-its-shared-world-shooter '''Eurogamer''' - ''Bungie unveils its shared world shooter'']</ref> Guardians could visit vendors, turn in quests, and interact with their fellows in the stronghold.


According to [[Tyra Karn]], at the height of the Last City's millitrization and centralization , it was defended by eight total towers manned by Titans. Aside from the Tower and [[Bannerfall]], the others had been repurposed  over centuries of conflict.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/20/4)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], Activision Blizzard, [[Quest]]: [[Beauty in Destruction]]</ref>

In ''[[Destiny]]'', The Tower acts as the main hub for Guardians in between missions or [[Crucible]] matches. It is one of four "Social Spaces" available in the game, the others being the [[Vestian Outpost]] in the [[Reef]] (available in [[House of Wolves]]); [[the Lighthouse]], available after going flawless in Trials of Osiris, and the [[Iron Temple]] on [[Felwinter Peak]] (available in [[Rise of Iron]]). At the Tower, Guardians can interact with fellow Guardians, or the many NPCs present.
