Spire: The City Must Fall 5th Anniversary Core Book

This is the 5th anniversary edition released in 2023.

You are a dark elf. Your home, the towering city of Spire, was occupied by the high elves two hundred years ago. Now, you have joined a secret organisation known as the Ministry, a paramilitary cult with a single aim – to overthrow the cruel high elves and restore the drow as the rightful rulers of the city.

What – or who – will you sacrifice to achieve your aims? Will you evade the attention of the authorities, or end up shot in the street like so many before you?

Spire is a 240 page book by Grant Howitt and Christopher Taylor, authors of Unbound, Goblin Quest, Honey Heist and other titles. The book includes:

The quick and easy D10 Resistance system that lets you tell stories of brutal rebellion
Details on the districts, factions and personalities that make up Spire – the frozen high elf kingdom of Amaranth, the lawless undercity of Red Row, the mysterious Mortician sect and the bleeding hole in reality known as the Heart
Ten character classes, including the vagabond Knight, the sorcerer-artist Idol and the arachnid nurse Midwife
Multiple extra advances to sculpt your character, allowing them to learn the hidden magicks of the Ministry, fall back on their military training, or devote their existence to a mad cannibal king who lives under an abandoned warehouse
A gamesmastery chapter, written with an eye to help you craft conspiracies and power structures that your players can topple, subvert or be consumed by
Over fifty illustrations by the tremendously talented Adrian Stone
