Raised in IM 1007 this imposing and grandiose structure, the Grand Noble Spire towers over the city in Hightown. Rising above the rooftops, this tall, thin structure is a place where the Nobility can look over the settlement and see all that they possess. Silence hangs about the outside of the Spire as little sound escapes from the dark delights within.
Eerily narrow it made use of the Guild's arts to create a structure of terrible beauty, one that seems impossible slim yet one that is decorated and ornamented in such a way as to actually make outsiders feel somewhat disconcerted (even sickly) if they follow its twisted lines too closely.
What takes place in the Grand Noble Spire is known only to those dark Blood Nobles of Deci and it is a place closed to all but their numbers and their guests.
In midsummer of IM 1008 a number of large spikes were placed protruding all around the spire for what purpose the Nobles had these added is not widely known but the overall impression granted by the addition of those spikes was to give the spire the appearance of a crown and to inspire the people to speak of the spire in even more hushed and reverent tones.
