The Spire

Liria created the Spire after the first meeting of the gods and her conversation with Ezaeyanthi in the depths of the ocean caused her to seek a better understanding of herself and the world.

The passage in which the Spire was made:

The cylindrical, crystalline Spire of ice stood far from where mortals had yet to explore, stretching from the very bottom of the sea to the very top of the sky. It was wide enough to accomodate a city on even a single floor, and its interior held many ornate halls and stairs and statues and furniture. The ice was as pure as glass, making the great tower all but transparent, and each line and cut caught the light of the Sun and the Iskari as it passed through, producing a panoply of prismatic colors.

And at the very top, above the clouds, Liria shaped the Halls of Thought, where the tower opened up like a blossoming flower, and soft breezes always blew through chinks and grooves and chimes in the ice, ever producing the Music of the Winds. Anyone who stood to think in the Halls of Thought and to listen to the Music of the Winds would find knowledge within themselves they had not known before, were they to think and listen long enough.

“Let this place be open to mortals and gods alike, to climb and enter if they can,” Liria murmurs with the voice of a breeze. “Let the thoughts of those who think here become as transparent to themselves as the purest air itself.”
