Kendri-Tar

Have you seen the Brokenspire, traveler? Have you gazed upon its twisted horror? Imagine it, friend; reflect on its import. We place our faith, our hope, our very survival in the belief that the great Spires and mighty Lamps will burn forever. We cling to their sides, build monuments and shrines to their forgotten builders, and we believe their works to be infallible. But nothing is made perfect! Nothing can truly be eternal! The Brokenspire is proof of that, yes? Proof that all things end.
How did it fail? Who can say? For as long as there has been memory, the Brokenspire has been a ruin. There are no cities at its base, no sign that there ever had been. The Spire is silent as the grave, a reminder to us all, yes? All things end.

Purpose / Function

Kendri-Tar, more colloquially known as the Brokenspire, is the only known Spire-ruin. It is unclear how the Spire came to be shattered, but it serves as a constant reminder that all Spires and Lamps can fail. The tower itself remains standing but at its pinnacle, where the miniature sun ought to be, there is instead a broken, partially melted ruin of twisted metal.

Architecture

Like all other Spires, the Brokenspire is made of some unknown alloy that while not invulnerable, seems able to withstand millennia of weathering without fail. It rises hundreds of feet into the sky, but the last several dozen feet are missing. It is as though some great force blasted the apex of the Spire apart and the force it unleashed partially melted the uppermost section. The resulting ruin is a terrifying vision of what might happen were another of the Spires to fail.

RUINED STRUCTURE
The date of the Brightspire's ruin is unknown, but likely occured during or just before the Oclusion Event.
