The Spire is a political and commercial hub of the east of Mythos, maintaining independence from the various nearing countries by its own wits and will. As well as being a well-defended island.

As a commercial hub with easy access from three different countries and a bit of a tax haven, all sorts of people from all sorts of places converge to sell and buy and trade and smuggle. As a political hub and "Switzerland" of Mythos, many diplomats of all places converge to rub shoulders and make deals. A layered and busy city, known worldwide.
