Sleeper's Spire
Sleeper's Spire is a business in Citadel Fornyr's High Town district. It is run by Vuldun Grandleur, a wizard of mediocre skill. In the Spire, you can purchase magical services that positively influence your mind. For example: having a hard time with procrastination? Ask for a suggestion spell to magically charm you into doing your work. Having trouble sleeping? Take a nice refreshing nap with a casting of the Catnap spell. The whole tower is decorated with roses. Sleeper's Spire also offers various wizard-related items for purchase.
Purpose / Function
To provide mental peace of mind or inspiration via magic to the hard-working folks of Citadel Fornyr.
Architecture
The Sleeper's Spire resembles a tall twisting wizards tower made of stone bricks interlaced with rose vines with a window on each floor. A long ladder leads from floor to floor. The bottom floor is the reception desk where you can ring a small bell to get the attention of Vuldun Grandleur if he's treating a patient. The bottom floor is also where more instantaneous procedures are enacted, like the casting of the suggestion spell. The middle 4 floors have two beds in them each, meant for patients under the Catnap spell to take their nap. The top floor is Vuldun's personal bedroom and study, where he spends his time fruitlessly fingering through old tomes trying to enhance his skills with magic. Each room has at least one jar with a rose placed inside.
Defenses
Vuldrun is a 9th-level spellcaster (Enchanter).

Plot hooks
- Vuldun Grandleur is desperate for some coin, and will do a lot of things he wouldn't normally do to obtain it. He knows that Sleeper's Spire is losing customers, and he struggles to balance trying to keep his business afloat while trying to catch up to his rival, Tearth'axan Brenzavur, in magical prowess. Needless to say, he hasn't slept in many days and it shows.
