The Ivory Tower is a legendary shield in Diablo III. It requires character level 60 to drop.
The unique affix, upon successfully blocking a melee or ranged attack (but not a spell or ground-based attack), releases a Fires of Heaven (Crusader only) beam in the direction the bearer is facing. Most interestingly, the Fires of Heaven unleashed by this shield benefit from all runes and enhancements, including Fate of the Fell.
Prior to patch 2.2.0, its melee damage reduction bonus was much greater than one normally allowed on a shield, second only to the Stormshield and String of Ears.
