Built high in the massive branches of Taldera's bloodwood forest, The Spires is a city crafted by the peaceful and scholarly Jamoura. Considered a haven for scholars and sages Mizahar-wide, The Spires is a mecca of philosophy and science that draws people from far and wide with its promise of deeper thinking and higher reasoning.

The Collective

The Collective smells like parchment and the sweet smell of nature. This is caused from the giant open doorway that allows one to step out onto a railed ledge and encourages a gentle breeze to circle around the Collective. The smell could hail from the many handwritten books that scale to the ceiling on abstract shelves. Perhaps the scent seeps out of the intricately placed wooden slats on the floor, walls, and ceiling. Either way, one feels at home upon entering the Collective.

The Collective was, quite literally, built around a tree. There are two sections to the Collective and both curve in a U shape around the tree. Each section has two rooms, hooked together by a hallway. At end of the U, the sections are connected with a railed ledge. The rooms are oblong and have a curved ceiling; whether the ceiling bends inward, outward, or a mixture of both depends on the room. More often than not, the rooms look like they were circles twisted and left.

Entering either of the two sections, one would automatically be amazed at how bright it is. Even though there is only one large arch before room, this open area lights the entire section with ease. On cloudy days, anyone entering the library will find carefully light lanterns sitting in systematically chosen corners. At the top of each room are two ventilation stacks to help the air flow. In the middle, there are multiple comfy chairs that are large enough for a Jamoura.

There are four rooms and each has a different theme. One is history, whether this be Jamoura or general history. This room is connected by ledge to the Culture Room. Here, books where information on other races, languages, and cultures has been recorded. This room does not include all the races, but more the ones the Jamoura have come into contact with in some way. The room down the hall from the Culture Room is Knowledge Room. This room stores information about topics like, meditation, cooking, etc. The last and final room is the titled Miscellaneous, as it holds topics that do not fit under the other three's criteria.

The books at the Collective are not allowed to leave for any reason. This to keep the knowledge in pristine condition. There is only one copy of each book as well. There is one Hahk'Shatara guard rotated per season to stand at the only true exit and make sure no books leave.
