The first city beneath Lumens stone, a testament to the tenacity of Lumens people. It features high stone walls embellished with runes and stained pine wood. From just standing at the gates the weight of such a place falls upon you, a fortress built in an environment Lumens people were never meant to go. This place opens its doors to all travelers, from the weary adventurer to the witty bandit all are given grace within Wysteria. Such a place must be led by someone willing to carry the weight of its people's fate, its most esteemed ruler, the duke of these lands, its sole ruler since its founding, Illya Orsten a militarist Elf who has taken it upon himself to raise the people of the Spire and eventually the Maw to stand against their founders. To build an army who may face the heavens, heavens built of steel and stone.
Illya has slowly pushed the forest back expanding their claims far beyond the simple village it spawned from, he forces his people to build heavy fortifications as he knows his people are not welcomed by this world. One day his people will see Lumens great sun once more and bask in its radiance, one day...
"For far too long, we've faced hollow skies, we face heavens built of steel and stone. No longer shall we allow ourselves to rot within the worlds below, we shall build the foundation of our spire toward the stars. We will reclaim our rightful spot within the heavens; we will bask in radiance our souls have long since forgotten and it all starts here, we shall continue to push our expansion outward, paint the spire floor in markings of our own making, turning this world into one of our own."
