It is a place of gods, and magic: there are preachers on every street corner’ demonologists hiding behind the facade of research universities and in the depths of the city, where space and time fear to tread, there are sects of magicians who have given themselves to a huge and alien intelligence, filling their bodies with sacred bees and turning their organs to wax simulacra. It is a nightmarish, dizzying place of perverse luxury and widespread destitution, where drow labourers toil in vast gardens and sweltering factories to produce treasures for their masters. Spire is crumbling from within and without it is ancient, and has been built and rebuilt countless times, and at the centre of the mass there is a jagged, weeping hole in reality called the Heart. Now, they graciously allow dark elves, or drow, to live in the city if they perform four years of service to an aelfir lord once they come of age.
Two hundred years ago, the high elves – or aelfir, strange and beautiful masked creatures from the far north – took it from the dark elves by force. Spire is a mile-high impossible city, older than anyone can remember. But for those willing to do what it takes, Spire is on the brink of full-scale rebellion, and you are poised to push it over the edge. The world of Spire is a brutal one, and players can expect to see their characters suffer at the hands of their oppressors, or their rivals bodily harm, psychological scarring and reprisals against their allies are commonplace. Spire is a roleplaying game about desperate revolutionary dark elves caught up in a secret war against the high elves, or aelfir, who rule the towering city of Spire.
