Guardiansbeams
Beams are physical forces that hold up the Dark Tower. Like the Dark Tower, they are infinitely old, created at the beginning of the Universe. The Beams are represented by 12 figurative "animal guardians". In all there are 6 beams and 2 guardians on a beam: bat, lion, bear, horse, rat, wolf, rabbit, eagle, turtle, dog, fish and elephant. At the end of each beam where a guardian resides, there is also a portal to another world. The Old Ones sought to replace the magical beams with their own technological versions and North Central Positronics created actual giant cyborg guardians.

Though there are 6 beams, in effect there are 12 spokes - the Tower is at the centerpoint of each beam, and an animal guardian at each end. (Read More...)
