I was in Sunward Marches and I noticed a funny looking tower in the distance due west of my current position toward Istan. Any idea what it is? I can post more screenshots showing my compass if you want me too.

Real answer, it's probably a rock structure not fully rendered due to distance.

Isn't it just a taller one of these? Just not fully loaded on your screen and not concept art.

I've seen a lot of them around, I think it's just towers like the one in the loading screen Stc95 showed. For guard or whatever

Great, you found it!
I went there to see if I could take some screens from other angles but there's nothing better than what you caught.
The nearest place is the inlet next to the outpost itself, with boats as in the outpost, and the tower is facing the sea, so I guess it's designed to be some some sort of elonian lighthouse, even if only working for the day. I reckon it makes the port visible from a far enough distance.

EDIT: ok there's also the light from the torch, I forgot about it, so a perfect lighthouse.
Here's the sea angle anyway:

If you sit in Issnur isles (or one of them south-istan areas) and face towards the directon of the SS-Great hall, you will see a faded panorama of a big sunspear statue in the sky..
