Far from the modern boulevards of the Yonderwalk, this district is defined by its towering grey stone structures and steep, dark-roofed architecture that looms over the narrow cobbles. Despite the city’s rapid ascent to become a continental superpower, Westspire remains a sombre anchor to the past, its skyline dominated by the high spires that give the district its name. The district is a labyrinth of academic and historical treasures, housing the city’s great halls of ancient tomes and various artifact houses. It is here that inquisitive minds come to study the remnants of the Age of Discovery, sifting through relics and maps that describe the world as it was before the expansion of the new age. For those seeking more tangible history, Westspire is renowned for its prestigious auction houses, where rare items from across the six continents are bartered among the elite. Yet, beneath this scholarly surface lies a darker heritage; the district is home to sprawling graveyards and a network of secretive tunnels that whisper of the ancient world and the early days of the human kingdoms. While the rest of Treston embraces the new thinking of the modern era, Westspire is a place of quiet reverence and deep-rooted secrets. The atmosphere is heavy with the scent of damp stone and old parchment, offering a stark contrast to the lively, rowdy taverns found in the East of the city. It is a district of great halls and long shadows, where the ruling council's influence often takes a back seat to the weight of tradition. For the residents of Treston, Westspire is both a proud monument to their originsand a reminder of their humble past.
