SHlGEKO'S DOSSIER: When the Crab Clan occupied Ryoko Owari (G4), they built these two towers, which explains why they are of a much more practical design than most of the city. While the inhabitants scorn them as "graceless Crab architecture", they are stout fortresses holding many members of the Thunder Guard. The towers overlook the river and are well placed to sink any floating invasion force. The Tower of the East Eye also has a clear plain between it and the Mountain Goblin's Rest Road. Jocho (P2) and his Lightning Squad (G10) frequently drill here, training against a possible invasion from the south along the road.
If the towers have a weakness, it is their separation; there is no good way to get across the river from one tower to the other. Apparently the Crab clan intended to build a bridge between the tops of the towers, but ran out of money before they could do so. The East Eye tower is about thirty minutes from the Gate of Oni's Teeth. The West Eye Tower is twenty minutes from the Bridge of the Dragon.
