Silverspire is a city-state of the past. Nestled in the crater of a long-forgotten war, the rising namesake of Silverspire spills out like a jagged gray splinter. Valuable crystals were mined here, once, as the rhombus-faceted construction of the inner city dictates, but a curse set upon the land has dimmed it all; it matches the lifeless husks that still sit plunged deep in the orifices of the outer badlands of the state. Morose and slow, the ponies that live here do so with a tomb-like, almost trance-like appearance. It's easy to blame the local religion, but even one night's stay as an outsider is enough to feel the creep in your bones.

These days, though, the place is looking much more lively. The city is full of the hiss and bell of heavy industry, proving that the religious spirites of Silverspire are no Luddites when it comes to technological advancement. There is a grand bakery that encompasses an entire city sector: the G.S.B.C., the Grand Silverpity Bakery Complex. Within, tourists and foreign advisors from the Snowpitia Novo orchards that feed this place can find the only source of color in the otherwise gray world composing and surrounding Silverspire. The spirites live happily under these conditions: there is plenty to drink till merry, and plenty of good work to be done.

On the fringes, however, deep in the cold storms about, something is brewing.
For a peaceable trading city, there's an awful lot of troop movements. And munitions. Equipment.

And now, talk of 'harvesting'.

Of recent news:
>2026-08-16 03:15:23: Head Paladin Cottonmaw is a fierce sort, but unlike her predecessors, she seems open to talks with the other nations of the world.
>2026-08-16 19:59:08: There are rumors that they plan to open a bakery in Silverspire.
>2026-08-16 21:34:44: Silverspire's invitation to the Spice Trade has been accepted.
>2026-08-17 00:10:57: Rejoice! The Silverpity Bakery has opened in Silverspire!
>2026-08-18 10:50:33: The bakery has been extended!
>2026-08-19 00:41:48: Silverspire fills with gray smoke. It's better than the acrid black smoke they used to belch forth: the spirites have constructed their first oil combustion facility.
>2026-08-19 10:15:02: The sound of copper being pressed by machine is a tempestuous rancor, today. It seems that Silverspire has constructed a new factory.
>2026-08-20 13:17:17: A neigh cataclysmic roar rips through the air of Silverspire. But it is not the end times. Soon enough, there is that familiar sound of hot metal presses, and a lava-hot foundry sizzling distantly. Silverspire has constructed its first advanced factory.
>2026-08-23 00:26:47: Wood is a rare commodity in Silverspire, but the thud of rocks and stones against one another brings just as much whooping and hollering to foreign travelers as it would in their parts of the world. A second bar has opened — the badlands don't look nearly as gray after a few drinks.
>2026-08-27 04:28:58: Coffee? Coffee! And plastics, too. Silverspire is really starting to look like a modern city, even with all the gray.
>2026-08-31 11:17:23: Silverspire's ponies now zip between the highly-planned streets of their ever-growing city in their own private vehicles. Additionally, the city has been split in organization into several self-governed sectors. In the end, though, they all still answer to the Council of Silverspire, and pray at the words of Head Paladin Cottonmaw.
>2026-09-03 04:00:03: Silverspire now has a functional video arcade! It seems unclear if they plan to expand it. Or add color displays.
>2026-09-06 02:15:30: Armed with plenty of plastic and pies, the new toys circulating through Silverspire's streets are a sure sign that future spirites will be growing up with active imaginations their parents never could have conceived.
>2026-09-13 14:04:08: Silverspire maintains silence about its activities in the Frozen North, but there is now enough evidence for the world to clearly see it: without a doubt, there is a massive facility in the cold wasteland north of Silverspire. Foreign nationals claim they're harvesting something. But what?
