The Spear

The Spear of Vesuva the main walled citadel situated in a large moat system of canals, which houses the main palace, a keep, and a lower and upper garrison. There is enough room to house the city Administration officials in the Lower Yard, intermingled with the barracks of the elite soldiers. The Upper Yard houses the citadel sages and wizards, clerics and druids, all of whom commune with the magical and spiritual as well as historic and archaeological. This feature climbs up some three stories to the base of The Spear, a wedge-shaped eight-story arching tower constructed ages ago of solid limestone clad in polished steel, plated in ancient magicked silver. The sentries at the tip of the Spear can see for nearly 100 miles around on a clear day, and can espy the looming Skyrend to the west, the fading Sarapadian Seas to the east, the verdant crest of the Greenwood to the north, and the dark olive of the Greybark to the south.
