Tensions between the Arcane Circle and the Council of Kings reached a boiling point when Valerius II, now one of the most powerful kings in Novus Mundus, launched an attack on the Spire of Knowledge, the heart of the Arcane Circle in Elenor. His army, equipped with anti-magic weapons and led by some of the finest soldiers in the land, marched on the Spire with the intent of destroying it and ending the threat of the mages once and for all.
But the mages of the Arcane Circle were prepared. Led by Lyra and the most powerful magi in the world, they defended the Spire with all their might. The Battle of the Spire was one of the most epic and destructive conflicts of the Magic Wars. Spells of unimaginable power clashed with sword and shield, and the very earth shook with the force of the battle.
In the end, the Arcane Circle emerged victorious, but the cost was great. The Spire of Knowledge, once a symbol of magic and learning, was heavily damaged, and many of the most powerful mages in the world had fallen in the battle. Valerius II's army was forced to retreat, but the war was far from over.
