Amidst the roiling waves and briny fog, far from the Empire's shores, lies a sprawling nautical metropolis—a kingdom of pirates, corsairs, and exiles drawn from every corner of Doaden. This hidden city, known only to those who possess the privileged knowledge of the few safe routes through treacherous seas, remains inaccessible to the uninitiated.
Shrouded in secrecy, the Spar is one of the few near-mythical metropolises scattered across Doaden's oceans. This vast shanty town is built precariously upon, and within, an ancient structure, a colossal, hollow pillar that juts barely above the ocean's surface, before plunging into unfathomable depths. The origins and purpose of this structure have long been lost to time.
