Cruciatus Spire
The Cruciatus Spire is the palace of Glistering Gabriel. It was once a Haimarchy Terraformation Tower Ship, but Gabriel personally commandeered it and reshaped it with Selschaeus to warp it into the Spire that it is today.
The Spire is a massive building over three miles in height and capable of ground-to-air-to-space motion. It is most often in space, where it is slotted into a Sorrows base city—The Garden of Earthly Delights.
The vividly realized visions of Hieronymous Bosch and the spirit gothic architecture combine to create a tower like a thorned spine three miles long and ending in a needle that looks as much like a weapon as a crown. When flying on its own, it looks like an emaciated serpent. When it's back at its garden, it coils around a central tower and watches over its domain with eyes of crystal and stone.
Command and Control
Gabriel has modified the tower to work like a Leviathan and that he can pilot it with his mind while in it—it is a living creature of archutecture.
"My Lord, there is a Somnacy cruiser approaching. We estimate there to be about five Angels aboard."
Gabriel glanced back over his shoulder at us, and nodded. He stepped down from his throne of coiled dark serpents and into the oily pool before him. The subdued rainbows glittering across its inky surface danced as his shoe broke through, and before his ankle could sink in fully it had rushed up his legs to envelop him.
"My lord...?" I asked, uncertain if I should be watching.
"Tell the Waxkin to suit up. There's soon to be fresh grist for the mill," he ordered, expression curling into one of adoration as the pool of Selschaeus solidified around him, threading probing filaments into his torso and hands. I felt the spire shudder, internal gravity activating as it began to slither off from its support tower and take to the air.
"Yes My Lord."
He plunged down, sucked fully into the pool, and within an instant its surface was placid once more.
