Spinesreach is an ancient fortress that sits in a pass in the Tarea Mountains between the Dry Plains and the Southern Tundra. Once home to the Ankyrean Order, Spinesreach was sealed first behind the Grand Artifice, and then its Citadel was sealed behind the magics of the Ankyri. Little is known about the secrets that have been left behind by the Order, but with the reopening of the Citadel, Spinesreach has once again become a full city.

Like the Ankyrean Order, the citizens of Spinesreach pride themselves on ingenuity and intelligence, along with self-reliance. Citizens are particularly patriotic to their home, and will often challenge intruders. The Syssin, sworn defenders of Spinesreach, make their home in Spinesreach, along with a number of the Consanguine who were ousted from Bloodloch.

The city itself is split into two parts. The Outer City is mostly farmlands, and the bustling Wintersbreeze Inn acts as a meeting place for travellers and citizens alike. The Citadel stands in the middle of the Outer City, and it is there the shops and governmental offices are housed. Five spires rise up from the Citadel, including the Spire of Artifice.
