The Spire

== Geography ==
Located on the northern tip of Alenthyl, the Spire is the crown jewel of the entire empire. It features the grand city of Alenton, alongside a great many cathedrals and holy sites prevalent to the Holy Light. Alenton itself is a sprawling affair, heavily favoring stone and brick as opposed to wood due to the several fires that have ravaged it over the centuries. The remainder of the county is almost entirely dedicated to using what arable land the Capital Lands still has to grow food to sustain the ever growing population of the Capital, as well as to shore up supplies in the neighboring counties.  
One of the two ends of the grand Arcane Locomotive ends in Alenton, leading directly down across Birm’s Bridge, through Centrafeld, and eventually stopping in Lavette Rochelle.  Another notable landmark is the Cathedral of the Lady Light, formerly known as the Cathedral of the Sacred Light, which serves as the seat of power for the Pontiff of the Church.  
Nestled within the confines of the inner districts of Alenton lies the Saint Florian Institute, one of the foremost centers of learning and research within Alenthyl.  The college offers degrees in a range of fields, from engineering and mathematics to philosophy and the arts. The prestigious university only lets in those with a keen mind, and a large wallet, but it has produced some of the greatest minds in all of Alenthyl.
== People ==
The people of The Spire are typically pious and fiercely nationalistic. They live in the Saint King’s lands, and they wear that honor through a badge throughout their lives. Most have a deep appreciation of folklore and the history of their country, and many of those inclined towards intellectual pursuits will become historians and record keepers. The Spire also produces a great number of priests, paladins, and common foot soldiers all eager to champion the cause of their home country.
== Ruling Family ==
House Capewell rules over The Spire, as they have for the last twelve hundred years since their origins as the descendents of Saint King Alen.Category:Regions
