Attempts to build in the ruins of old Granthelia by hardier individuals have been made by many, but successes are few. One of the first failed attempts was the Polst Spire expedition. It was initiated by its namesake, Lord Ignatius Polst, the expedition’s leader and sole source of funding. An eccentric man of considerably poor taste, Lord Polst had a bizarre obsession for things beyond the safety of the walls. Deciding to commandeer the funds of his family’s estates and stored riches, Lord Polst deemed it his time to go beyond the port’s confines and stake his claim in old Granthelia.
