= Feathergale Spire =

A tall '''stone tower''' on a rocky height in the hills '''southeast of [[Red Larch]]''', visible from a long way off. The party traveled here in Sessions 03–04, '''entered and cleared the spire''' floor by floor, and learned it was a '''wind cult''' stronghold. Only one defender — '''[[Ewan McFeathernuttz]]''' — was spared; he flew the party back to town on a '''[[Hippogriff]]'''.

== What the party saw ==

* A '''gleaming stone spire''' rising from a high pillar of rock — hard to miss when crossing the hills.
* '''Multiple defender types''' on different floors:
** '''[[Feathergale Knights]]''' — scale armor, longswords, spears; some carried disguises and medallions.
** '''[[Howling Hatred Initiates]]''' — leather-armored cult foot soldiers.
** '''[[Hurricanes]]''' — unarmored fanatics using wind magic; some wore feathered wing-harnesses.
* At the '''stable ring''' at the base: '''[[Hippogriff]]''' and '''[[Giant Vulture]]''' mounts for the cult's flyers.
* Combat was heavy; the party killed most defenders and '''spared one knight''' (Ewan).
* The party looted '''disguises and medallions''' from fallen knights, then '''returned them to Ewan''' for a flight home.
* The party does '''not''' know what lies beneath the spire or whether the cult will return — they left believing the wind cultists were dealt with.

{| Session !! What happened
