Master Chief converses with Cortana in High Charity. In the background is the wreckage of the UNSC In Amber Clad, crashed into a tower.
The Master Chief and Cortana consider their options while hunting down the High Prophet of Truth.

The Far tower was a tower in the Covenant holy city of High Charity. Its proper name is unknown; "far tower" is just a colloquialism used in order to name it.

Description

The tower featured some Holo-Pedestals, a Gravity Lift and three landing pads for Phantoms and dropships. The tower was connected to the Mausoleum of the Arbiter by a solitary bridge. This is where the High Prophet of Truth boarded a Phantom to reach the Forerunner Dreadnought with his captives, Miranda Keyes and Sgt. Johnson.

The tower is also where the High Prophet of Mercy was attacked and killed by a Flood Infection Form, then was abandoned by Truth and his Brute guards.

In Halo 2, it was the second location the player appeared in on the level High Charity. A Pelican crashed onto the tower platform and Flood Combat Forms emerged from the wreckage, followed by Brutes from a door to combat the newly arrived Flood.

It is certain that the Far tower was destroyed along with the rest of High Charity at the end of the Human-Covenant War.[1]
