Goliath's Tower is the tallest point of Castle Wyvern, and the perch of the clan leader. When the Castle was rebuilt atop the Eyrie Building, it became the highest point in all of New York City.
History
The tower was constructed with the Castle, beginning in 971. By the time it was completed, it was the highest point in all of Wyvern. Presumably, Mentor would sleep at the top of the tower. By 984, when Mentor stepped down and Goliath was promoted to leader of the Wyvern Clan, he began sleeping atop the tower.
When Hakon and his band of Vikings attacked Castle Wyvern in 994, the Viking leader scaled the tower assuming the sleeping gargoyle was just a statue. But when the Sun set, Hakon came face-to-face with the gargoyle leader. The following evening, unbeknownst to Goliath, he had his final conversation with Angel and "Othello" before he and Mentor took off after the Vikings. Following the Wyvern Massacre, the Magus cast the Sleep Spell on Mentor, Charlemagne, Alexander, and Caesar. Goliath placed them along the tower walls before requesting the spell be cast upon him as well. ("Awakening: Part One", "Awakening: Part Two", "Reawakening")
When David Xanatos arrived at Castle Wyvern for the first time, the first thing he did was scale the tower to pull moss off of the sleeping form of Goliath. After rebuilding the castle atop the Eyrie Building, Xanatos stood on the tower and waited for Goliath to awaken. He was not disappointed. Following this, Goliath spent most of his days sleeping atop the tower until they departed the Castle. For a brief period, Thailog also made the tower his roost before his "abduction". After the Manhattan Clan returned to the Castle in 1996, Goliath resumed sleeping atop the tower and it was here that Elisa Maza first kissed him. ("Awakening: Part Two", "Enter Macbeth", "Double Jeopardy", "Hunter's Moon" Part Three)
Elisa temporarily broke up with Goliath atop the tower but a few nights later, the two confirmed their love for one another. ("Invitation Only", "The Rock")
Characteristics
Goliath's tower is the highest point of Castle Wyvern, the Eyrie Building, and New York City. From the top of the tower, the leader of the clan perches at sunrise. Goliath slept atop the tower for over a thousand years after the Magus cast the Sleep Spell. Sometimes Goliath will perch atop the tower to get some space and think.
The tower is tall with at least four doors leading to a winding staircase within the tower. There is a door in the courtyard at the base of the tower, another one leading out onto the battlements, a third leading out onto the circular parapets near the apex of the tower and, finally, a door built into the very top of the tower leading out onto the turret.
