	The White Gold Tower was originally simply known as ''De Kathedraal.'' When the Kythiran forces conquered the remains of Helmsdeep during the Imperial Unification after the Minecraftian Dark Ages, they occupied the building, giving it various purposes, from a munitions depot to a hospital for wounded soldiers returning from the front lines. When after the Unification the Empire was to be formally declared, the building was chosen as it was the largest in the world. For a while the Kythiran government was located in the Imperial Palace, the old summer palace from the Second Era, situated opposite of the WGT. Eventually this building proved too small for government functions, and a building was sought with a hall large enough to become the new imperial throne room. After the first renovations were completed, the building was renamed ''The King's Keep''. It was here where the first peace treaty between the Kythiran Empire and the Imperius Reich was signed, and this was thus the namesake of that treaty.

	During the ~~late Third Era~~, ~~the ageing Emperor~~ demanded that the tower, which reached 44 meters, would be expanded. This resulted in a grand tower of white quartz with gilded lining reaching 181 meters tall, formally known as the ''Second Tower''. Due to this expansion, the name of the building was changed yet again, officially becoming the White Gold Tower.		During the reign of Emperor Henry II the Domumfortis castle was build. This now being the tallest structure in Helmira would not suffice, so he demanded that the tower, which reached 44 meters, would be expanded. This resulted in a grand tower of white quartz with gilded lining reaching 181 meters tall, formally known as the ''Second Tower''. Due to this expansion, the name of the building was changed yet again, officially becoming the White Gold Tower.

	The Second Tower however was destroyed when it collapsed in an extremely stormy night during the late Third Era. It was replaced by a shorter but wider ''Third Tower'', standing at 155 meters tall. This was destroyed during the early Fourth Era, in the Great Vanishing, when Emperor Charles III Viromaro attempted to use ancient Helmsdeep magic to improve the power of House Viromaro. Instead, the Tower and much of the building itself, including the great throne, were destroyed. The throne-room was partially restored during the reign of Emperor Alexander Viromaro in order to continue state functions such as imperial weddings. Although the White Gold Tower remained the official headquarters of the Crown during this time, the de facto headquarters was once again the Imperial Palace for the duration of Alexander's reign.
