First-Tower is the name of one of the Grey Company’s squadrons. Its name comes from a small village adjacent to the city of Sharn, situated on a stone tower, about 30 feet high.

Update

In 07/1013, a majority of the PCs split from First-Tower Squad. Ignatius and the rest of First-Tower Squad then assumed command of the militia police in Sharn’s Greywall District.
