As one makes their way through the massive trees of the Talderan forest, and manages to survive the massive beasts, the voracious insects, and getting lost in the mist, one might come across a winding dirt road. The dirt road is nothing extraordinary, no deep grooves from wagons, no guards patrolling, no signs designating direction. If one gets lucky enough to choose the proper direction they would find themselves on an incredibly long and winding journey. If one is paying close enough attention, they would see the trees getting taller, thicker, more massive as they went deeper.
After one passes two particularly large trees, one on either side of the dirt road, they will get the uneasy feeling of being watched, but will be unable to find the source. Continuing along the road, one would begin to feel more eyes. Eventually they would, if paying close enough attention, see stairs winding around trees or knotted Slugsuckle vine ropes and ladders. It is quite possible to completely miss the city while walking along. One could look up to where the city was located but all that would be seen would be leave and branches, cleverly placed and grown to obscure all view of the hidden city from below. If you continued on, you would pass beneath the Inner and Outer Petals, pass over the Undercavern, and through the Foliage district, all without seeing anything other than nature.
However, should one happen upon one of the staircases or Slugsuckle leads, and take that first step or first climb, they would be greeted openly by one of the Hahk'Shatara. These Jamoura guard the city and watch all passing through. However, the unspoken rule of nature states that they cannot assist you until you enter Spires properly. Once greeted, the Hahk'Shatara shall act as guide into the city, leading one where ever they would like to go. They will also explain all of the laws one must follow while in The Spires. If one has a horse, it will be taken to the hidden stables in the Foliage. Most Hahk'Shatara will lead upwards into the Outer Petals. From here one could see most of the glorious hidden city of the Spires.
Necessary InformationYou should post here if you are entering the city for the first time and are not a native. You do not need to wait for approval, just write how you came upon the city and where you were guided. Welcome to Spires. Please enjoy your stay.
