The Siren's Spire

The Siren's Spire is a towering lighthouse, standing 150 feet tall, constructed from iridescent blue-green stone that seems to shimmer like fish scales. At its peak burns an ever-changing flame that shifts colors based on weather conditions and, some say, the moods of the sea.

Features

• Singing Stones. The tower is built from rare musical stones that resonate with the waves, creating haunting melodies that can be heard throughout the harbor.
• Weather Prediction. The color of the flame at the top is said to predict weather patterns with uncanny accuracy.
• Mermaid's Tears. A pool at the base of the tower is filled with glowing, teardrop-shaped stones that are said to be the tears of a mermaid queen.

Legends and Lore

Local tales speak of a mermaid who fell in love with a human sailor. When he died at sea, she wept for a hundred years, and her tears formed the magical stones used to build the spire. It's said that on stormy nights, her ghostly form can be seen at the top of the tower, singing to guide lost sailors home.

Cultural Significance

The Siren's Spire is more than just a lighthouse; it's a cultural icon for Isleif. Sailors pray to it for safe voyages, and it's a popular site for weddings and other ceremonies. The melodies produced by the tower have inspired countless skalds and bards.

Magical Properties

Some believe the tower has the power to calm storms and guide lost ships to safety, though these claims are difficult to verify. What is known is that ships following the light of the Siren's Spire never seem to run aground, even in the most treacherous conditions.
