The Tower of Brass leaves in a fortress in Sigil. It's currently owned and managed by a council that includes Danja Dragonborn and the Guild of the Smallfolk.
The Tower is a walled compound, with the back wall near the edge of Sigil's great ring. The outer walls are tightly-fitted dark gray bricks and marked with giant dwarven runes inset with iron. These walls are around thirty feet high and topped with shards of multi-color glass, with an inner walkway for sentries/defenders. The outer bailey is a small market square with several businesses. The tower itself has a hexagon footprint and a total height of over 210 feet, or 21 stories. The first 12 stories are composed of massive, tightly-fitted light gray stone blocks. The remaining 7 and 9 stories are two slightly-smaller hexagon towers of similar but smaller blocks, linked by bridges.
