Typemountain

The Proudspire is the largest mountain within Varlamore, being part of the Hailstorm Mountains, the range flanking the capital of Civitas illa Fortis. It is famous enough that Emperor Imafore Tullus gave the Kourend royal family a tour of "the peak of the Proudspire", among other places.[1]

The Proudspire was also the site of a key battle during the War of Betrayal that led to the capture and execution of Emperor Imafore.[2]

The mountain is a holy site within the Varlamorian religion of Losanium. Accordingly, it is overseen by two teoki: Yolotli and Ezco. Dedicated followers of Losanium may undertake a sacred pilgrimage, walking from the Teomat, past Mons Gratia, to the obelisk atop the Proudspire.

The obelisk at the peak of Proudspire is a large monument of reddish-brown stone with carvings depicting various figures on its four sides, and is surrounded by four carved statues of hands reaching up from the ground. The bottom of the north face of the obelisk appears to be "leaking" some form of corruption, but cannot currently be entered into.

The obelisk's exact origins and purpose are unknown, but it remains sacred to the people of Varlamore since it was of religious importance to the Old Ones, who built it.[3] In particular, the Sect of Ranul is interested in the obelisk because of how it signifies the importance of preserving knowledge.[4]
