Spindlehorn

A Thassilonian relic from ancient times, the Spindlehorn is a fantastically tall structure located in the Wyvern Mountains of central Varisia. Thousands of feet in height, it rises from the shores of the Storval Deep, contradicting all natural laws of architecture and engineering. It is completely featureless except for a winding stair that winds like a corkscrew around its length, terminating in an open platform ten feet in diameter. The view from this platform is easily one of the most terrifying views in all of Golarion.

To most, the purpose of the spire has been lost to time, although it is told that dark-robed figures can be seen ascending, but never descending its heights from time to time. However, there is an epic poem Jandelay, inscribed at the base of the Spindlehorn, that implies that Jandelay is place of green fields and spires somewhere within the chaos of the Maelstrom, and that a being called the Oliphaunt of Jandelay is Jandelay's eternal guardian. So, some have surmised that Spindlehorn was constructed as a platform from which one could summon the Oliphaunt of Jandelay and command it while making eye contact with the massive creature.

Shamans of the Shoanti Shundar-Quah hold the Spindlehorn sacred, making pilgrimages there once every ten years to discuss tribal matters of import. Rumors suggest a powerful being is buried beneath the tower's base, and the site remains a powerful point for summoning monstrously large fiends.
