Warning: Mardomum's Spire
Posted by Victus on 05/12/18
As of the time of posting this report, myself and a few others have successfully returned from a journey to the spire that appeared in the sea when the Darkwater vanished. We return unharmed after ascending to the top of the spire and recording all that we'd seen. With this expedition's completion, this posting is to serve as a brief warning for those who may attempt the same.
The spire itself is most certainly Elven architecture and exceeds all imagination in its scope and size. It is ten stories high, crafted from pure marble, and at the very top is perhaps the most dedicated place of worship to Mangata I have ever seen. There is no reason to suspect at this time that the spire itself is dangerous. However, the waters around the spire itself are much, much more lethal to traverse.
The 'Bloodwater' phenomenon was witnessed on the journey by ourselves correlating with several other reports of sailors who have come close to the area, as well as many hostile creatures lurking below the water. The surrounding water around the spire is by no means safe and appears to be growing less so by the day. For this reason, Thrax personally recommends that ABSOLUTELY NO SHIP without good reason should attempt to reach the spire, or risk a HIGH chance of a horrible death.
All knowledge that was recorded on this trip will be submitted to the archives of Vellichor and we hope that will be sufficient enough until the threat has passed.
We reiterate, the journey to Mardomum's spire is potentially deadly. Do not attempt lightly. Preferably, do not attempt at all for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for POINTING out how very dangerous this spire is, Thrax.
