Urrigon Hightower
On this tab
Urrigon Hightower was King of the Lighthouse, the title under which he ruled House Hightower after succeeding his father, Uthor of the High Tower, on the throne.
His name is tied to the distant origin of the Citadel: the land he granted beside Honeywine would, over time, become the birthplace of that institution.
King of the Beacon
Urrigon was the eldest son of King Uthor of the High Tower. On his father's death he took the throne, ruling House Hightower under the title of King of the Lighthouse.

Land Grant at Honeywine
When his brother Peremore died, King Urrigon granted a stretch of land beside Honeywine to those he called "Peremore's pets": a community of scholars and teachers who had served his brother.
There they devoted themselves to teaching, learning, and the pursuit of truth. Over the years, that place grew into what is now known as the Citadel.
