Glass Spire

The light glinted and refracted off the uneven surface of the spire.  Rainbows and light beams shone all over the glen.  It gave Nimble goosebumps.  "Why are we here again?" he wined.  


"Because the Magus ask me to investigate the spire." Feris answered without looking.  "It's really difficult to study, because the magics we'd use to study it are... unreliable here."

And what is this we've come to pass ? A pymamid of solid glass 

The Glass Spire is actually the ruin of an elven tower that was destroyed in a battle with the forces of Chaos 500 years ago.
