The Hollow Spire Ruins

Six miles northeast of Larkfen Hollow, tangled in a cheerful mess of bramble and ash trees, the Hollow Spire Ruins peek out like a forgotten toy left by the stars. Once a proud watchtower for an ancient order of sky-watchers, the spire toppled during a storm so dramatic it split the sky in two—at least, according to local storytellers with flair.

Now, the ruins shimmer with mystery: flickering lights dance among the rubble after sunset, and one wide-eyed child swears they heard music drifting up from below, soft and twinkly like a lullaby played on stardust. Beneath the collapsed stones lies a sealed vault etched with celestial carvings and a broken astrolabe that might still remember how to point the way.

It’s a place where the sky once watched back—and might still be listening.
