In ToHS, p.112, the text speaks of the "Globe of Solinari" and of two other "globes" that were located at Daltigoth and Losarcum. Problem: I can't find any other mention of these in the book, nor any explanation as to what they were exactly or what purpose they served (unless I missed it).

Can anyone shed some light on this?

It isn't clear, but this is really just a feature of the Tower's internal lighting and doesn't have any special magical properties other than to honor Solinari aesthetically. I'm not sure why Chris specifically mentioned the other two Towers other than because they were both destroyed and therefore, so the mages destroyed Istar's globe.

Losarcum would have a black onyx globe dedicated to or in honor of Nuitari; Daltigoth would have a globe made of sardonyx or some other red stone in honor of Lunitari. Note that both locations do have other lighting features or specific references to things that indicate their leaning. Wayreth and Palanthas were both a lot more balanced in their associations.

Cheers,

The globes weren't mentioned in the Kingpriest trilogy, were they?
