The Shardspire, or the temple of the Shardspire, was an ancient crystal which occupied the center of [[Rhaedwyn]]. In the 215th year of the [[Age of Cyrathis]], it is believe to have been a piece of a [[Soul-Star]] that fell upon the continent.
It was in this site that site of the [[The Dawnsong]] was sung and that Mythrael and the [[Gods]] came into being. At this site, the ancient city of [[Lavellor]] was built, as the capital of [[The Luminarchate]] was founded and the [[The Sorcerer-Kings|Twelve Sorcerer-Kings]] ruled Rhaedwyn, and if some accounts are to be believed, all of Eryndor.
It was also the site of the [[The Age of Shadow#The Last Battle|The Last Battle]] was fought, when the forces of [[The Sorcerer-Kings#Sorcerer-King Virulan||the Sorcerer-King Virulan]] led the army of [[Ulthrak]] to battle for the forces of the [[Endless Night]], at the heart of [[Lavellor]]. During the battle, [[The Sorcerer-Kings#Sorcerer-King Virulan|Virulan]] managed to breach through the defences, and through unholy rites lost to time, caused the Shardspire to explode, destroying [[Lavellor]] in the process, and killing most of [[The Sorcerer-Kings]].
