 ) The tower looks like concept art for a structure we’ll see in the game, and that it’s in multiple different pieces of concept art shows that it’s important to the plot. I fully expect my character to battle their way up those sloping stairways on the edge of the structure come D3’s release.
-) The tower is [[Bastion's Keep]], a keep of the [[Children of Bul-Kathos]] kept to defend the Northern Steppes and Mount Arreat from invasion. The Monk's artwork depicts a fight at Arreat's Crater, making the burning tower actually [[Bastion's Keep]] being attacked. It would also make sense, considering that the Burning Tower was seen on two Barbarian images, and Barbarians are associated with [[Bastion's Keep]] on the writings of [[Abd-al Hazir]]

 Pick one that approximates your view, or make up your own. That’s what the comments are for, after all.

 Even if the tower isn’t anything significant, it’s fun to speculate about, and any excuse to look through more of the game art is a good thing.

 ===The Associated Artwork===
 This tower turns up in two Barbarian pieces and one [http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1206&title=monk&cat=509 Monk image]. The two Barbarian shots each use the same background drawing, but it's been repositioned behind the Barbarian image, in a way that's fairly interesting in of itself.

 It looks like people are massed on the ground to the right of the structure, as though a battle is raging just outside the building. They’re actually too small and indistinct for us to be sure, but that impression is given largely thanks to the burning tower and the flaming projectiles; such are signs of war, thus any jumbled patch of something next to the tower seems a good indication of a battle.
