Shatterspire

From LSWiki

City alignment: Order/Good (more Order than Good).

Guards Assist: Yes.

Special Notes: In the mountains north of Valathyr rises the mighty fortress of Shatterspire. Here the dracon have made a home for themselves which they fiercely defend. The daring may seek to raid Shatterspire, but be warned: every citizen is armed, and groups of angry dracon will attack aggressors on sight.

If one is determined to explore Shatterspire, one will need a means of flight; the dracon did not build their keep for the flightless, and the inner city radiates from a central shaft rising high through the mountain. -- Kyrios, Lorien 18, 531

Within the tower of Shatterspire, home of the dracon, I found a curious piece of magic taking place, a circle of light from which water poured. I was most puzzled and examined the artifact, but to no avail; I couldn't figure out what the curious artifact was for... -- Aragorn Peredhil, Ysaril 2, 531

It is a dangerous thing to be unprepared for flight in the dracon city of Shatterspire. Let me state that again: 'It is a DANGEROUS thing to be unprepared for flight in the dracon city of Shatterspire'. I, in my youth, am still unwise in all aspects of adventuring. After consuming a potion of flight, I proceded to explore this interesting city. Unwittingly, I made the mistake of not ensuring that I was still capable of flight after visiting the the teacher Catharion. This proved my undoing as I fell down the central shaft to my likely death. I pondered this mistake on the way down. Due to my training as a Aisenshi, I was able to survive the descent, though I was barely alive after impacting upon the hard stone floor. After awakening and meditating on that fall I have decided to pass this advice on to my fellow explorers: Always make sure you are in flight before entering that central shaft. -- Kaoru Kamiya, Blayhrr 20, 533
