	Echostorm spire is named after two adjacent peaks. "Storm" is a real curiosity within Zenith - a region normally famed for ~~it's~~ clear skies for stargazing - in that it is regularly shrouded by cloud, rain and high winds. Quite why this might be is a matter of some debate, but current theories tend towards a magical origin.		Echostorm spire is named after two adjacent peaks.

	Whatever the truth of it, the Storm Vault was built to harness the magical flows. It consisted of a set of vanes looking rather like a large mithril flower set just about the level of the cloud line (which varies a little seasonally, but is typically below the peak of the spire), the vanes were adjusted and tuned to harness the energy of the prevailing conditions - both magical and meteorological.

	Collected energy was ~~channeled~~ down through the mountain down a conduit, to the vault - which was a delicate mesh of mithril from which crystals were grown. Whilst only a few grew to maturity each season, the nascent crystals glowed and shimmered as the storm energy was harnessed meaning that the assembly resembled an extremely large cobweb chandelier.

	The collector needed careful adjustment by civil servants, and bad weather on the side of a mountain made this a rather unpleasant experience. The role of the custodian was to ensure that the adjustment and configuration of both the vault and the collector were carefully monitored.
