The Tower of Thought

The Tower of Thought is actually a citadel located upon a seaside cliff with a panoramic view of the eastern sunrise.It is ruled by the Order of the Sacred Tower of Thought(Ordo of Sanctus Culmen of Sententia;See below).It's main purpose is to learn about the world through philosophy and is to be the main hub of scientific study within the nation.It has it's own security force called the Atlantium Honor Guard.An archaic style fighting force,they only seem behind in their time.

The Tower of Thought
Although it is a citadel,the tower is named after it's central tower,standing in the center of the castle fortress,which holds a sacred flame which is lit every night and kept burning,it is supposed to represent the light of knowledge and how it can be spread throughout the land.

The architecture of the tower is a mix of mideval european,aztec,and roman architecture.Although it is a peaceful space,and it's estate style look,it still remains a fortress.It has five towers grouped at the far end of the cliff,with a courtyard between them and the wall.Below are five large rooms,bored into the earth and allow for mass storage of supplies and private rooms for discussion.

The five towers are for five different needs or have 5 different purposes:

1.Central Tower:Where the light of knowledge is housed,and serves as a lighthouse to seagoers.

2.Front tower:Standing in front of the central tower and behind the gate directly.It holds the armory of the citadel.Due to the need of it in case of an attack,it is made to be very short,about half the size of the side towers.

3.Side Towers:These towers are the sleeping quarters of the residents for visitors who wish to stay the night or residents permanent quarters.They are large and bulky,but not very tall.They are the third tallest building.

4.Back Tower:The second tallest building is the home to the grand library.Every floor and every shelf is filled with books,the lower floors holding many public knowledge books,while the upper floors hold private journals and memoirs to the residents studies.

The central tower is said to hold not only it's large flame,but also secrets and treasures of the nation.But this is so far,only a rumor.

Studies
The order studies many subjects within the citadel,but mostly it is on theologies,philosophies or major problems of the world.Solvoism is a major figurehead of the order's studies on searching for refining it's philosophies to make it more complete.

Ordo of Sanctus Culmen of Sententia
The Order of the Sacred Tower of Thought,or the Ordo of Sanctus Culmen of Sententia(Literally translating into the Order of the Sacred Piller of Thought).Their job is to protect the tower at any and all costs.They are diligently trained,but the job is mainly ceremonious.Their armor is made of light aluminum plate armor with a dark blue tunic.Their helmets are in the Teutonic Great Helm style and they bear a 7' pike,along with a light metal framed wood shield(Similar to a roman shield) and they brandish a broadsword.

These warriors are a unit of the Atlantium Honor Guard,a multidiverse army composed of protecting the nation and it's monuments.
