Sinner's Reach

The Spire of Repentance

They build the tower ever higher towards a goal they will not achieve. Some believe they're building a tower to reach the heavens, others that it is a moment, others still a never-ending pennance. All that is sure is that each time the tower grows so tall it collapses they keep building as if it hasn't.
Anyone is welcome at Sinner's Reach. Join us and be cleansed.
Past relationships, possesions, crimes, and history are erased in the shadow of the spire. You forsake who you once were and join us in building the spire. Perhaps one day the gods may see this monument of our mistakes and restore the world whole. We must simply reach high enough.

Demographics

There are no natives to Sinner's Reach. Each and every person who lives in the spire has traveled willingly seeking shelter and aid in a last resort, or been banished on pain of death.

Defences

The surrounding wasteland provides a natural defensive barrier to the tower. Traveling to or from Sinner's Reach is a dangerous prospect at the best of times with poisonous gas clouds, micro erruptions, and maelstroms common occurances.

History

When the world Divided and the continent shattered some felt it prudent to attone for the sins leading up to the event. At the point where the gods struck the land a small tower was constructed in repentance. But feeling that the monument wasn't enough the founders continued to build claiming that they would make right the wrong of the past. Their labor would carry attonement across the land and make them all worthy of unity with the other continents once more.
So they built, and continued to build an endless tower that may one day reach the heavens themselves to plead forgiveness.
Those who commited crimes too unforgivable or egregous found themselves banished from their homeland to the tower to join the endless toil, hoping the impossible will come to pass one day.

Geography

Sinner's reach is located at the closest point to where the gods struck the land and shattered the continents apart. The surrounding area never recovered from the blow and is a volcanic wasteland generating deep black hexaginal bassalt deposits.

Natural Resources

Hexaginal bassalt deposets surround the tower and are mined for use in the tower's construction and for trade.
