Structure of the Tower

''"Tower of God" redirects here. For the series as a whole, see Tower of God (series) ''

The Tower is the world and setting of Tower of God. There are currently 135 confirmed floors, and at the top, everything that could be wanted is up there. The 135th floor is yet to be conquered. The Tower is basically divided into 3 parts: Inner Tower, Outer Tower, and Middle Area. The Tower has an effect on someone's age. At any age, someone's appearence will freeze, and they can continue to age forever.



Inner Tower
Inner Tower is where the selected Regulars climb the Tower. The Guardians of each floor give Regulars a test, and the Regulars must pass it to go to the next floor. Anyone who reaches the 134th floor becomes a Ranker.

Regulars that reach the 20th floor can exit to the Middle Tower if they wish, or continue to climb. The option to exit remains open all the way through their climb above 20.

There are Rulers each floor, and they rule over their floors under the permission of the Guardians. The Rulers are all High Rankers or above. The Ruler has the right to decide the exam of his floor. But if the Guardian raises objections, he must follow the Guardian's wish.

There are Guardians for each floor, and they have control over the Shinsoo on their floor.

Outer Tower
Outer Tower is the residental district. Each floor of the Outer Tower is enormous. Once a person shows potential of climbing the Tower, he/she get chosen and becomes a Regular, earning the right of going up. The cultures of each floor are all different, and the climates and temperatures all vary. These conditions have been decided by the tendencies of the Guardians and the Rulers of each floor.

Each area of the Outer Tower and Middle Area is managed by the Ruler (the title is different each floor. They are called President, Chief, etc.) of the area. The Rulers are all High Rankers and are all followers of the family owning the floor..

Middle Area
The Middle Area is an area between the Inner and Outer sections. Both Regulars and Rankers can live there. It can be used to travel between the Inner and Outer Tower, and also can be used by Rankers to skip floors of the Inner Tower.

Middle Area is the place where the Regulars and Rankers live together, although people who are not Regulars live here, too. (Mostly the family of the Regulars)

The area is smaller than the Other Tower, and it varies by the floor. There is some interchange with the Outer Tower. The standard of living is much better.

The Top
The current known top of the Tower is the 134th floor. There are floors above that, but no one has gotten through the 135th floor or further yet, because of the hostile Guardians. It is said that the one who reaches the top will be able to see the stars.

It is strongly believed that the day Zahard is on the move again, is when The Tower will go up another floor.

Outside of The Tower
Little is known about what's outside of the tower. All irregulars of the past have been from the outside.

Some regulars are also chosen from the outside. This is supported by the fact Rachel has read about The Tower in books (likely written by failed regulars) and called Headon a "fae" who granted children's wishes.
