Spiremarch (city)

## Description

Spiremarch is a massive city roughly the size of the largest of mountains. Estimated by Luminarch Odressa to be 8 and a half miles tall, by 10 miles in diameter. Build of concrete, metals, wood, and stone. Built up over large period of time, since its first founding by the Allanorians. It is divided into sections and levels.

There are six sections

* Urbs Solar
* The Mechadendrite
* The Spire
* Skydock
* Goldtouch
* Blackmark

There are eight levels

* Calleus
* Upper-Reach
* Skywalk
* Reach
* Common Level
* Bottom
* The Underworld
* The Forge

The size of Spiremarch is incomprehensible in a pre-industrial world such as Sera, but owing to its continuous habitation for nearly 22,000 years it has been built upon and built upon and built upon. No single construction is responsible for the massive size of the city.

## Geography

Spremarch is at the very end of the Flumen River. Its located on a grassy plane.

## History

### Allanorian Settlement

It's unknown who, how, or why the first Allanorian settlers built a small town in what is now Spiremarch. Even its age is just an estimate by archeologists based on rock level and arcane dating systems.

What is known is that the Allanorians inhabited this place from around ~2300 OA until their civilizations disappearance.

The Allanorian Settlement had somewhere around 15,000 inhabitants and was a relatively small town. Even so, the craftsmanship was so well done that entire buildings can be found intact in places underneath the Forge.

As with other Allanorian remnants, it used technologies and magics unknown to the modern world.

### The Age of Desolation

During the Age of Desolation, the ruins of the town were inhabited by a tribe known as the Urnak.

During this time the population grew to 25,000 or more, and would transform from a smaller town into closer to a proper city.

The Urnak were conquered by the Empyreans at some time around 2,600 SA

### Empyrean Settlement

It was the farthest north major Empyrean settlement. In Empyrean it is known as Muhty-Niwt, or the Northern City. It was given a permanent garrison, and the first walls were erected around the city. These walls form the outline of the foundational base of the Spire.

Its population grew drastically to around 500,000.

During the Day of Reckoning, it was left unaffected, but it soon succumbed to hostile forces without the support of the greater Empire.

### Pre-Monic

The tribals who savaged Muhty-Niwt are all but lost to history, but what is known is that a tribe, long descended from the Allanorians of old, hailing from the Kaschato Region of modern day Veni, took over Spiremarch sometime around 5,600 SA. The migrated group split off from the greater Kashata collective, forming their own culture which is now known to be the Monic.

It, during this time, grew to its modern size in diameter, and the second layer, now known as the Underworld, was under construction.

In this time, the population ranged from 500,000 to 750,000.

### Age of Unification

During the Age of Unification, the Monic Republic was one of several nations which dotted Western Seron. During this time, the city became known as Monia. At its peak, Monia had a population of nearly 5,000,000.

During this time, more layers were added to Monia, including the Bottom and the Common Layer.

### Imperial Monic

#### Early Monic

During the early Monic Empire, Monia was being built up, and the layers of Reach, Skywalk, and Upper Reach were completed. It grew to be the largest city in existence, even surpassing the projected sizes of Allanorian cities.

It had a population of 10,000,000 roughly during this period.

#### Later Monic

During the reign of Lucius Cordius, the Calleus and Floating Palace was constructed. The city was so massive that the bottom layer had to be converted into a massive power generator, now known as The Forge.

Its population around this time was nearly 20,000,000

### The Age of Successors

After the fall of the Monic Empire, the final Emperor declared Monia to be the rightful successor of the Monic Empire.

Over time it became known as Spiremarch.

The population grew to 25,000,000
