The Darm Tower is a main aspect of the Ys series. In the story, the Darm Tower is an unfinished and deserted tower, built with the intention of touching the sky.
The tower houses a small annex, titled "the Tower of Rado," at the 3/4 of the spires length.
According to in-game lore: In the ancient Ys age, because humans overused the magic power of the Black Pearl, an evil reaction occurred; magical energy brought fourth millions of cruel demons. The people of Ys fled to the Palace of Solomon and used the Black Pearl to lift the palace into the sky, creating a safe haven. The demons, focused on controlling the Black Pearl for their own intentions, began building the Darm Tower, day and night, attempting to link the Palace of Solomon with their construction. As in-game-events transpired, however, the demon's efforts were thwarted.

Famous quotes containing the word tower:
“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word “sophisticate” means, very simply, “obscene.” A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a “sophisticate” means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
