The Spire Level 1
Atop a winding hill is the ruins of an old keep, made entirely out of a mysterious green glass. Melted glass and broken armanents tell of a battle here long ago. A single door leads into the keep, shrouded in darkness.
Defenses
The keep is shrouded in magical darkness, which causes all light sources to be surpressed beyond five feet.
History
The Spire was formerly the lair of the lich Rhaim'gaiz, who sought to unravel its secrets. After Jegor killed Rhaim'gaiz, he destroyed the keep and placed the magical darkness there to deter people from going below.
In 1285 AYD, the necromancer Gaghrin arrives and begins to explore the levels, eventually assuming control of the first six levels of The Spire. His plans for further conquest are contested by the Serpentfolk who control levels 7 and 8. Gaghrin begins to mine the glass from The Spire for use in creating constructs, awakening the creature that slumbers on the 16th level.
The keep was formerly occupied by a hobgoblin and goblins who followed him, until they were killed by the Heroes of the Spire. They also rescued a construct that had been forced to fight with the goblins, who Trudy named Clanky.
