Defences
Crime in Hightower runs on the white-collar side: blackmail, espionage, identity theft (of the literal kind, perpetuated by shapechangers), etc. On the rare occasion violence breaks out, Azorius arresters arrive promptly to deal with the situation.
Industry & Trade
Business in Hightower favors the sundries of academia: book sellers, binders, printers, and publishers, specialty ink and paper shops, magical services, and public and private libraries. The general stores, restaurants, and hangouts cater to student life.
Guilds and Factions
Now that the existence of the guild is known, it is apparent that House Dimir has deep interests in the area. It is a hub of information, and any guild who prefers their members formally educated is invested in Hightower. With Nivix and Zonot 7 so close, it is inevitable that their respective guilds have a certain amount of sway.
Architecture
Hightower is so named for the grand universities and educational institutions of all sorts; most of these boast at least one tall spire among their structures. Moreover, student dorms and residential complexes are often high rises, packing as many academics in one space as possible.
