Vuekson
The Soaring Spires
"Vuekson is a spectacle to rival anything else in the Wraith Globe. With its towering spires and rich community, you can find almost any service or item you could ever need!"- Irlin Tonth, Guildmaster of The Chaos Shrouds
Vuekson, a Algorian citadel in the East end of Algos, is also the capital of Algos. Built on an enormous man-made mound of earth, Vuekson and its spiraling spires tower high above the surrounding landscape. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the Soaring Spires. The classes within Vuekson are very simple: the higher you are, the more important you are. To move your home into a higher tier of the city, wealth is key. Many prominent nobles build their mansions on stilts, as to increase the height of their home, but this is readily banned in the city. The ruler of Algos, Tarkas Irly, holds the highest point in Vuekson, his private suite towering 500 feet above the city gates.
