I think Tar Valon has a lot of spires, but none come even close to the White Tower, so this pic is a little wrong on that point. Some of those others are almost as tall as the White Tower in the pic.

This is the map from The Great Hunt. The biggest thing I can find is that Dragonmount is too close, but it makes it more dramatic.
I always hoped the Asha'man would hollow out Dragonmount and make the Black Tower in there, because not only would it be so cool to have them live in a mountain, but it would really anger all those prissy Aes Sedai who treat Tar Valon like some sacred place, and it would be representative of how women are stronger in Water but men are stronger in Earth and Fire, and it would be like going full circle for LTT. And again, it would be so freaking cool to live inside a mountain, even though it is (probably) a volcano! But it looks like the Black Tower in Andor is becoming pretty permanent, and I have a feeling the Asha'man are not going to last too much longer anyway. Taim is driving them to their own civil war, and their only real purpose is for Tarmon Gai'don. I'm sure some will survive, but I think they will become Aes Sedai (like in the Age of Legends) or at least join with the Aes Sedai on some level and live in Tar Valon again. They will not be a completely seperate group composed entirely of male channellers opposed to Aes Sedai.
