Hollow Spire

The central stronghold of Noctis's forces — a tower of twisted resonance built over a wounded rootline of the First Oak.

Description

• Built over the deepest wounded rootline of the First Oak
• Constructed from corrupted resonance, not stone
• Its presence chokes and distorts the Song
• Contains prison cells for captives (including Nyra)
• Beneath it lies an ancient lab where experiments were conducted

History

Noctis corrupted the Resonant Anvils to create the Hollow Spire — a tower born of domination rather than harmony. It was built where the First Oak once sang loudest, to silence and twist that power.
