Builders - hooded figure

The mysterious creators of the Spires many thousands of years ago. 

About[]

Little is known about the Builders or what kind of creatures they were, mainly because they created the Spires so long ago, and then vanished without a trace. However, they seem to have not been human, and to have possessed incredible knowledge of engineering (since they were able to create the incredibly complex Spires out of Spirestone).

High Manual[]

They apparently laid out guidelines in the High Manual, which included "no smoking": viewed as a serious sin.[1]

Spires[]

They created Spire Albion in the shape of a perfect circle with each habble being a square fitting into that circle. The spaces around the square were located at the Carina's points of the compass, These spaces contained a variety of supporting structures—cisterns, Ventilation Tunnels, waste tunes, and so on.[2]

Religious Significance[]

In Spire Albion, the Builders are revered to religious levels, as they are often mentioned as "merciful" and sometimes alongside God and Archangels.
