Tsepia Spire

The cities here hang on chains suspended across huge chasms. When the shattering struck this spire it rent apart the earth, but a young god intervened to forge the chains and single massive city survived; but Tsepia is still a brutal place. Over the next years more cities were constructed using these huge chains to support buildings and creating networks of chains so that each city is suspended from anchors atop huge mountains, and below is like an open quarry into the boneyards. Tsepia is a land of permanent winter and it is almost always snowing. Where snow accumulates on the chains they rust through, and large snowfalls can put undue stress on the chains and cause portions of entire cities to collapse. There is a glacial edge of this spire, like on Wilting, and the highlanders of this spire live there meaning that Hyper-Boreans are present on this spire, as they are on Wilting Spire. The other edges are mountainous and difficult to traverse, but if one could do so they could leap into the ether, likely to their deaths, as no spires are near Tsepia on those sides. If one were to climb a mountain too far, come too close to the sky, they could literally fall off the face of the spire and into the ether – they would be able to ‘swim’ back to land if they had the presence of mind, but would likely die if they didn’t.
