Last Spire

The culture of Quill was only just reaching its peak when Banyan smashed into it. Sprawling cities of spires were torn apart, and many Teryxian sciences were set back hundreds of years. Ruined towers, temples, and even whole settlements can be found under masses of vegetation, deep within the jungle, or even sometimes precipitously perched upon the vertical sides of the rocky islands, caught there when the shard was broken.

The Last Spire, which is in reality a collection of spires situated on and around Mount Quiya, is now the center of Quill’s spiritual and cultural life. The central spire is home to the Scholar- Priest’s Lodge — those Teryxians who have long governed Quill. Many cycles may pass without any word from Mount Quiya, but when the Scholar- Priests emerge to declare a new time of sacrifice or enact a new law, the whole of Quill listens. What is not immediately apparent to the casual observer is that the Scholar-Priests and their agents rule the whole of Teryxian society.
