The Azure Spire

The Azure Spire is Dutama’s renowned mage tower a sleek and elegant structure built from polished blue coral and enchanted glass, rising gracefully in what seems to be a swirling pattern above the city skyline. Build in the center of the slums and surrounded by the houses of the poor, the tower offers no visible access to its interior. No doors, windows or balconies can be observed. It serves as both an arcane academy and a sanctuary for the city’s most skilled mages and scholars.

Home to the Order of the Tidecallers, it houses the mages of the order throughout the tower. The office and personal chambers of the Archmage can be found in the pinnacle of the tower. It is made completely from transparant magical stone and with a special phrase it can change opaque to fully translucent in any color the caster desires.

Led by the enigmatic Archmage Selvara the Tidecaller, the Azure Spire specializes in water magic, navigation enchantments, and protective wards designed to shield the city from seaborne threats. Its halls are filled with glowing aquamarine crystals, ancient tomes, and intricate magical devices that hum with latent power.

Various workshops can be found throughout the tower and they're wellknown for crafting objects to help with navigation, sea faring or any maritime endeavor. One of it's most famous shops is dedicated to the manufacture of the Tideguard magical armor with their special cold forges to work with the difficult sea-steel metal.

The tower also maintains a Seawatch Observatory, where mages study the tides, predict storms, and monitor magical disturbances across the Sapphire Strait. The Guild of Navigator's often seek the Azure Spire’s assistance for enchanted items, magical guidance, or knowledge of forgotten relics hidden in the depths of the sea. As such they maintain close ties with their sister organisation.
