The Northern spire is the greatest military fortress ever constructed on any of the continents.

Legend has it that there was once a captain of the Nocaneb Guard with eyes as keen as a hawk. Being a handsome man, he attracted the attentions of a Dark Witch, but he refused her advances. Infuriated, she cast a curse on the captain, and his wondrous eyesight was lost.

Suddenly, the whole world became a blur, and the closer an object was, the worse his vision became. In a fit of despair, the captain stumbled up the long stairwell of the tallest tower in Nocaneb; the White Spire. There, at the highest point on the continent and the lowest point of his life, he readied himself to jump...and suddenly found clarity. Though everything close to him was only a mass of color, he saw the surrounding woodlands which stretched miles and miles away as clearly as if he were looking through a spyglass.

From then on, the captain established the Nocaneb Watch and to this day members of the watch guard the city like hawks.

History

Nocaneb was the home to the warlord that founded the Arcaean Empire.

Queen Edara Kindon of Arcaea was a duchess of this stronghold at some point. Her reign was followed by Goffrey Massey. It is now ruled by Tenal Quasath, former Count of Orbeh(a region long part of Nocaneb Duchy).

Since at least the reign of Goffrey Massey, the stronghold has been plagued by poverty due to the fact that it is a stronghold. However, the problem was multiplied because of the large amount of militia in the region to guard against attacks from Sartania.
