The World Spire

The World Spire is a massive mountain that is central to 9 other mountains. To many the World Spire is sacred and is the pure life essence of the world. The spire itself contains biomes from each of the nine other spires as well as its own magical summit.

The coastal region contains many shipwrecks as the currents commonly pull in any broken or unmanned ships. Underwater plants and corals in the coastal region are unusually brilliant in color; there are bright oranges, deep reds, royal purples, and seemingly infinite other hues.

The base of the mountain is very barren, commonly experiences thunderstorms, and has dust devils patrolling the area.

Slowly the barrens become low rising hills filled with grass. Trees start to dot the land, small forests arise, and wildlife seems more commonplace.

The next mountain region is odd in the fact that surrounding the mountain between the hills are three different biomes, an ancient thick forest, an immensely arid desert, and undying swamp lands. The forest is covered in grangly moss, and a thick unnerving fog. The trees of the forest grow wider than most and often their branches intertwine with each other as if embracing one another to create a dark unified canopy. The desert is dry and hot but unusually calming, as if you feel welcome and free of danger. The swamp lands appear sick and twisted, yet life continues to thrive. A low fog makes traversing the swamp difficult and dangerous.

As you start to climb the mountain itself there are another 3 biomes leading to the summit. One perpetually covered in ice and snow, another littered with ancient ruins, and the last constantly smoking and leaking lava. There is a great waterfall where the volcanic and ice regions meet, it drains into the swamp lands and meanaders out to a great lake before draining at the coast.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in mist, and glittering gems are strewn about the treacherous surface.
