The spire is an ancient Tower built on the convergance point of the worlds magical Leylines.
As long as 200 years ago the tower stood tall, watching over the valley, until a man only described as 'The Mad Count'
Inhabited the tower, learning of its secrets and magical truths. Then causing the tower to disapear from this very realm.
And that was how it stayed, for decades it remained hidden from friend and foe alike. until his decendant Constantine Callius managed to
get the tower to reappear. Claming the spoils inside for himself and his group. Unknowingly bringing danger to not only himslef and his friends but also the valley the tower stands in and ultimatly the entire continent.
