Spire of Ankav

Purpose / Function

Give PCs a temporary environment to help with research and planning. A place they can use to explore the area and learn more about the plot. Sense of stability and helpfulness. Orhla started building the Spire not long after Vecna's banishment. Started as just somewhere for her to keep the things left over from her cult but slowly turned into where she did most of her research from and kept it. As she expanded she had the idea of hiring help, which turned into her teaching the help how to help her. After Qudib was founded mages and researchers started asking to stay at the Spire to learn from her and developed into a education facility with her students teaching more students.

Architecture

Built out of different materials as if added to over hundreds of years. Therefore the walls of different levels are coloured and textured differently. Rooms have been re-purposed many times over and altered for their new function. The furniture is much the same with different levels of disrepair and seemingly coming from all over the place. Chairs in the dining hall don't match, strange paintings of people no one recognises anymore line the walls.
A magical mapping system has been put in place to help navigate this pieced together tower. When "Locate" is spoken anywhere in the Spire a transparent map will appear in front of the speaker and indicate where you are. It's basically a directory.
