The Black Spire
To the south of Eadwald - The Capital City of Eadwald there is a strange black stone spire that rises 150 feet out of the ground. It looks like it might have been a tower of some sort, a long time ago. It is surrounded by ruins.
The spire is rumored to have been built long ago as tribute to an ancient kingdom. It used to be inset with runes made of gold, but the gold has long since been removed by scavengers and thieves, leaving only the imprint of what the symbols were, inset into the black stone.
Whatever the weather, the spire is warm to the touch. There is a small Cult dedicated to the spire who think there is great power there; they are recognizable by their yellow robes and black ash smudging that runs between their eyes down across their lips. They have all taken vows of silence.
Floating roughly above this spire is one of the magical floating crystals
