Originally meant to be the home for the Tajhan and their throng, over time, it has been repurposed for more political interests; now, it houses the embassies of the Song Dominion affiliates as well as the Welkin Fastness, the monarchs seat of power. As the oldest spire in Mir, the Reign is constantly repaired, restored, and reinforced: the latest update included baryonic titanium plating around its dome (which cost a hefty sum in taxes, much to the chagrin of the citizenry). The spire, and the Fastness more specifically, is also the location of [[Spire Defense]] Headquarters, which acts as Mir's police force. | ||
<b>[[Spacer's Landing]]</b> is the main spacer spire in Mir. Built after the Nusriza formally joined the [[Song Dominion]], its construction was controversial, to say the least. [[Echanism|Echanists]] protested, and as such, the spire was not finished until a year well after the end of the [[Echanine Schism]] (roughly 2306 AD). The Landing's primary purpose is to provide amenities and temporary lodging for Dominion allies and other visitors, as well as give access to the capital city by way of its starport. A Spire Defense checkpoint requires passing before full entry into the Landing and city proper. There are a couple of places in the Landing that are worth mentioning:<br/> | <b>[[Spacer's Landing]]</b> is the main spacer spire in Mir.

It was originally owned by both the Erguena and Resolos throngs; however, the Resolos were summarily wiped out during the Echanine Schism. The Erguenas bought the remaining shares and continued running the business to this day. Erguena Industries specializes in handmade silk, and it often hires Nusriza who have recently emerged from their Quickening. | ||
<b>[[Zenith Basilica]]</b> is the most well-known church/temple to Echannine that is maintained as a site of historical significance by the Mir government. Ever since the Schism, the congregant population of the Basilica has reduced significantly; as such, it is generally unused save for a handful of services for those throngs that still 'keep the faith' and a certain religio-cultural practices like funerals and weddings. | <b>[[Zenith Basilica]]</b> is the most well-known church/temple to Echannine that is maintained as a site of historical significance by the Mir government.

<b>[[Goribar Farm]]</b> is one of the closest farms to Mir's borders (there we are other farms of greater size spread across Frixion VI). Collectively owned by several throngs who supply the work force, the farm grows a variety of Frixion VI and off-world products; however, they specialize in raising [[algerion]] for [[Quickening]] Nusriza and processing their gaseous chemicals for a variety of needs. Recently, they have been building a side-business by raising grubs to create the recreational drug [[leesa]]. | |||
