Eternal Spires

A collection of exceedingly narrow mountain peaks, the Eternal Spires lie just to the east of the Twins. Like a set of jagged teeth protruding from the ground, the Spires spike upward and have little to no greenery upon them. At their altitude and with such a sheer face, the Spires serve as little more than an ominous backdrop as one gazes east. Military leaders in the past have considered their potential as a choke point, and the most zealous of them even considered setting charges at the base to collapse a number in order to trap an enemy. These plans never came to fruition for one reason or another, but each of them failed at least in part because of a group of religious figures who claimed that they have journeyed to the top of the Spires in order to commune with the gods.   The Spires as a region consists of the open landscape that expands northward from the plains just north of the Sea of Dine as far as the eye can see. A vast plain of light vegetation, stands of trees dot the landscape but for the most part it is remarkably flat. Toward the south, you see a set of gently rolling foothills that bridge the expanse between the Spires and what can only be described as truly colossal mountains. Exploding from the otherwise serene landscape are the Badumunzes — jagged, unruly teeth of stone. Their smallest peaks are capped in white, and the tallest of them vanish behind cloudcover before they narrow past the size of your thumb against the horizon. As you three glance over the lands, you also notice a small stream feeding its way from the Spires down and through a bit of the grassland before curving back and burying itself between the foothills and the Badumunzes.
