Southwatch is a massive, magically created black tower and living organism that serves as both headquarters and a source of sustenance for the Shadowen. Erected near the point where the Mermidon River meets Rainbow Lake, the tower is used by the Shadowen to siphon off the earth magic they feed on in large quantities.

Southwatch also serves to hold prisoners, as in the case of Coll Ohmsford. Like the Shadowen and their others creations, it was destroyed when Par Ohmsford released the earth magic trapped deep in the underground cavern at the base of the tower.
