Lost Spire of Netheril

Buried in the tundra is the spire of a tower that broke away from the Netherese city of Ythryn when it fell from the sky nearly two thousand years ago. The spire shattered into pieces as it embedded itself in the earth, upside down. There it has remained for centuries, buried under snow and ice, a frozen time capsule of the Age of Discovery.

The Rune Chamber

Once the party arrives at the Lost Spire, it does not take long for them to find Dzaan's Simulacrum within.  He is smug at the sight of them, as he truly did not expect to see them again.  He instantly takes on a genuinely good mood as they talk over their travels and he shares his research his prime version had been developing at the time of his creation. He leads them down to an upside down chamber. The walls of this chamber are inscribed with interconnected runes and marred with cracks. What is now the ceiling bears similar inscriptions that swirl inward, converging around a golden crystal disk five feet in diameter.

"I ain't seen my prime in a long time, in fact, I don't even know if he lives or plans to return. I'd very much like to continue our research, and I believe this device may release me of the limitations of my current state. If my understanding serves me right, has the ability to release me from the limitations of my current state.  I believe, if we place an illusory object within that disk and provide it a life force we just might be able to change that object into something more tangible. Now, if that's true, I got myself a mighty risky idea - and I'd like to step up there onto that disk and ask one of y'all to reach out and take my hand. I'm moderately certain it wont do any of y'all no harm, but the risk isn't zero.
