Creation and Usage Notes
| The citation form is in the name Tor Lara, translated as "The Tower of Gulls". The singular form I created based on analogy isn't used in the books. The use of "gulls" here was part of the inspiration for the class 4 plural.

| The birds are plural in English translation only. In Polish original, it's referred to as "Wieża Mewy", the Tower of the Gull (Tower of Gulls would be "Wieża Mew" instead). The English translator must have decided that "The Tower of Gulls" and "The Tower of Swallows" sounded better than "The Tower of the Gull" and "The Tower of the Swallow" due to one "the" less.
