The Sickle Spire is the famous/infamous tower of magi in the city of Capitoleum. It is the tallest structure in the Midrealms. The name "the Spire" also refers to the entire castle complex.

Spire Complex

The Spire consists of the actual tower (the Spire) as well as protecting concentric walls outside; the Octagon Walls that are built in an octagonal star shape with eight impressive forts located one in each corner of the star and the Sickle Ring Wall which is a perfect circle supported by eight tower gates and an additional 24 guard stations.

The tower is built on top of an older structure from the early days of Capitoleum, which was intentionally built sturdy for the then distant plans of building a massive structure on top. A second "layer" of the tower was built after, followed by the white octagonal tower itself (the namesake of the "Spire") dotted with numerous small windows and with a tall metal tower on top.

Though unknown to the populace, the tower is fitted with numerous Thundercatchers as it is struck by lightning numerous times per year.
