=== The Hopeslayer's Thorns ===
=== Description ===
Thirteen spires erupted from the earth in various parts of Dereth at the onset of the [[The Fourth Sending of Darkness]] during the [[Darkness Ascendant]] event. These mysterious spires, known as "thorns"(ref?), became the setting of a series of the abductions of many heroes throughout Dereth. Those abducted were interrogated and asked many questions by a shrill voice. The last question asked by the presence was which town visited by the Spires should be destroyed. During the [[Twilight's Gleaming]] event, the towns of [[Arwic]] and [[Tufa]] were obliterated. <ref>2000/03 [[Darkness Ascendant]] - [[2000/03 - Shadow Abductions|Shadow Abductions]]</ref>

During the [[The Fourth Sending of Darkness]] arc, Shadow Spires appeared at different towns.<br>
In the [[Thorns of the Hopeslayer]] event, the Shadow Spires were the locations where [[Bael'Zharon]]'s generals and their forces gathered before they attacked various towns and locations. The town spires were also where key chunks were kept by the special [[Spire Shadow]]s. The chunks formed keys to the doors inside the [[Nexus]] where one of the [[Soul Crystals]] was kept.
[[Arwic]] as well as [[Tufa]] were destroyed by the forces coming from these Spires.<br>


At the onset of [[Darkness Ascendant]], 13 spires erupted from the earth in various parts of Dereth. These mysterious spires became the setting of a series of the abductions of many heroes throughout Dereth.
=== Current Shadow Spires ===
There are currently only two existing spires in Dereth.  


The Cragstone Shadow Spire was destroyed during the [[Twilight's Gleaming]] event. Its remains can be still be found there; see the [[Fallen Shadow Spire of Cragstone]]
The first is located on the [[Singularity Caul]] at 91.8S, 92.8W and is where the [[Shield of Isin Dule]] is kept. This spire appeared during the [[The Price of Loyalty]] event. The rumor [[A Shadow Spire on the Caul]] refers to this one.


The only one existing at the moment is on the [[Singularity Caul]] at 91.8S, 92.8W. It appeared during the [[The Price of Loyalty]] event. The rumor [[A Shadow Spire on the Caul]] refers to this one.
The second appeared in [[Tou-Tou]] during the [[Hidden In Shadows]] event and is part of the [[Shadow Invasion Quest Chain]]. Currenly only the head of the spire is visible and contains a portal to the caves where Shadow general [[Ler Rhan]] is found.

Shadow Spires

A Shadow Spire is an enormous floating object made from the Shadow twisted body of a Gromnatross.[1]

The Hopeslayer's Thorns

Thirteen spires erupted from the earth in various parts of Dereth at the onset of the The Fourth Sending of Darkness during the Darkness Ascendant event. These mysterious spires, known as "thorns"(ref?), became the setting of a series of the abductions of many heroes throughout Dereth. Those abducted were interrogated and asked many questions by a shrill voice. The last question asked by the presence was which town visited by the Spires should be destroyed. During the Twilight's Gleaming event, the towns of Arwic and Tufa were obliterated. [2]

Two of the Spires that destroyed Arwic had previously attempted to attack Cragstone but were repelled by Asheron and Elysa. The spire that had erupted in Cragstone was destroyed during the battle. [3]

In the Thorns of the Hopeslayer event, the Shadow Spires were the locations where Bael'Zharon's generals and their forces gathered before they attacked various towns and locations. The town spires were also where key chunks were kept by the special Spire Shadows. The chunks formed keys to the doors inside the Nexus where one of the Soul Crystals was kept.

Current Shadow Spires

There are currently only two existing spires in Dereth.

The first is located on the Singularity Caul at 91.8S, 92.8W and is where the Shield of Isin Dule is kept. This spire appeared during the The Price of Loyalty event. The rumor A Shadow Spire on the Caul refers to this one.

The second appeared in Tou-Tou during the Hidden In Shadows event and is part of the Shadow Invasion Quest Chain. Currenly only the head of the spire is visible and contains a portal to the caves where Shadow general Ler Rhan is found.

The following tables and map display where the original 13 Shadows Spires erupted and their locations each month until they buried themselves once again in the ground.

Attack Spires

Two of the desert spires joined up with the Tufa spire where they destroyed the desert oasis town. The Aluvian Plains and the Eastham spires also attempted to destroy Cragstone with the spire that erupted there but were repelled by Asheron and Elysa.

After the attack, the remaining two spires along with the spire that erupted in Tou-Tou, moved north and destroyed Arwic.[4][5]
