Ozen's Watch
Ozen's Watch is a massive tower located at the approximate center of Inner Umbar.
Purpose / Function
Since the tower's construction during the reign of Radiant Ozen II in the 5th millenium AW, it has served as the primary residence of all the city's Radiants, both winged and wingless alike.
History
Ozen Vraisoséto II, a winged Radiant in the 5th millenium AW, is perhaps most often cited as the one who constructed Ozen's Watch, as it was indeed originally called "The Shining Tower" during its planning phase before being dubbed "Ozen's Watch" after her upon its christening. Ozen II did commission the structure, with its planning and construction beginning in the latter half of her hundred year reign.
However, Ozen died four years prior to the Tower's completion in 4026 AW, and she had little to no involvement in the project past its commissioning and a press tour throughout Outer Umbar to drum up public support for the expensive undertaking whilst many of the poorer Umbarim struggled with rampant crime, high food prices, and deteriorating public services.
As with the death of her namesake Radiant Ozen I centuries earlier, Ozen II was branded by the Church of Light's Pythia--then Melína Deukalion--as a saint and a martyr upon her death, despite no publicly available evidence suggesting any violence or wrongdoing.
