Spire of the Soul-Seers

 is a location in.

Background
This tall tower dominates the skyline of The Sacred Stair, built around a particularly unusual pillar of adra. The animancers aren't entirely fond of the open air environment, but easy access to lightning helps keep the workload manageable for their wizards and harden both the equipment and researchers. The exploration of the properties of luminous adra is a priority for Vailian animancers, so nobody complains... Much.

Points of interest

 * The ground level contains animancers working on the pillar and complaining about their work conditions, together with some minor loot.
 * The rooftop is most interesting, as it contains not only their leader, Flaune, but also Ydwin, a potential sidekick.

Characters

 * Flaune Elette, leader of the animancers.
 * Ydwin, a potential sidekick.
 * Caedman Azo, assuming you didn't kill him during The Man Who Waits.

Loot

 * Animancer's Energy Blade: Wielded by Flaune Elette, and can be looted from the corpse of a mercenary on the ground floor during Skipping Ahead.

Behind the scenes

 * As evidenced by its internal ID "AR_0705_Temple_Hylea", the Spire of the Soul-Seers was likely originally intended to be a temple to Hylea rather than a base for animancy as it is now. Talking to High Priest Hati reveals that this is because the animancers simply set up base in a temple to Hylea.
