 +Hartspire is the Seat of the Tenebrian Empire and home to [[characters:grim_doros_greycastle|Grim Doros Greycastle]], the undying ruler of the valley.

 +It is a palace built into the mountainside of an island forested with evergreen with sheer impassible cliffs. It is in the northeastern region of Loch Greycastle. The structure is made of the same sturdy grey and blue stones that form the arches of [[places:the_tenebrous_empire:the_vein|The Vein]] Upper reaches of the spire have gilded stonework and polished copper roofing.
