Description

A enormous floating object made from the Shadow twisted body of a Gromnatross.

Making their first appearance during The Fourth Sending of Darkness story arc, the Shadow Spires were the locations where Bael'Zharon's generals and their forces gathered after they errupted from the ground.

During the The Fourth Sending of Darkness arc, Shadow Spires appeared at different towns.
Arwic as well as Tufa were destroyed by the forces coming from these Spires.

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.

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 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.

Attack Spires

Two of the desert spires joined up with the Tufa spire where they destroyed the desert oasis town. Three spires also attempted to destroy Cragstone but were repelled by Asheron and Elysa. The 4th spire that was already present in Cragstone was destroyed in the battle. After the attack, the remaining three spires moved northeast and destroyed Arwic.
