Originally formed as an honour guard by the Warden of Tor Yvresse to protect his tower, the tallest spire in the kingdom's majestic capital, the Spire Guard have since become the city's foremost defenders – the anchor around which the army of Tor Yvresse now forms. Time and time again, the Spire Guard have turned the tide of battle by stubbornly holding the line, pouring arrows into their foes to buy time for their kin to regroup and counter-attack.[1a]
