The World Of Khoras - Civilization - Ruins
Description
The Titan's Spire is actually a grouping of four octagonal towers clustered together in a square formation. Elevated bridges connect the four towers at two different heights. Three of the four towers are completely intact, but the fourth tower is broken off at the top and the top chamber is exposed. The intact towers are each 105 feet tall. Surrounding the four towers is a network of paths radiating out in eight directions equally spaced like the spokes of a wheel. The paths terminate equidistance from the towers and a circular path forms a perimeter around the grounds at a radius of 80 feet. A number of crumbling walls and partial buildings show where secondary buildings stood. Fragments of a large curtain wall circle the grounds following the outer path. An ancient road winds through the forest to this ruin, but the road is overgrown and blocked in several places.
Location
The Titan's Spire is located deep in the forest of the Mael Ix Drablin.
Known History
The Titan's Spire was one of the largest and most advanced fortresses of the Kytohan Empire. It guarded the border of the empire and was one of several fortresses to take part in the war against the barbarian hordes of the west prior to the Sundering. After the Sundering and World Storm, the fortress was assaulted several times. When the Kytohan Empire collapsed, the fortress was cut off. For a while it became politically independent and guarded several forest encampments and villages within the forest. At some point in the ninth century, the Titan's Spire was overrun by a humanoid force. It was held by pugnar bandits for several centuries before it was suddenly abandoned around the 16th century.
The Titan's Spire Today
This ancient fortress is deep in the woods and very difficult to get to. One recent report by a band of adventurers traveling through the Mael Ix Drablin reported that a drakonar has set up a nest on the top of the damaged fourth tower.
