Built high in the massive branches of Taldera's bloodwood forest, The Spires is a city crafted by the peaceful and scholarly Jamoura. Considered a haven for scholars and sages Mizahar-wide, The Spires is a mecca of philosophy and science that draws people from far and wide with its promise of deeper thinking and higher reasoning.

The Everliving Wood is owned and operated by a gentle craftsman Jamoura by the name of Nrash. The establishment's name comes from Nrash's view of life and art. He believes that the wood never truly dies, and that in the hands of a skilled craftsman, the life within it can be brought out for all to see once again. His woodcarvings and creations are all made with the greatest care and love, bringing out the inner beauty of each fallen piece of wood. He does not believe in painting or gilding, as those things only serve to take away from the natural beauty of the wood itself.

Here one can find expertly carved masterpieces from the simplest wooden statuette to the grandest furniture. Nrash makes and sells artistic pieces for decoration, as well as furnishings of all sorts. Even the simplest table or chair will show signs of great care and artistry in its creation. Nearly everything found here will have the appearance of natural things, from lifelike carvings of animals, to tables that look as though they could still be living shrubs. Indeed, one could easily walk past one of Nrash's creations in someone's home and never realize it wasn't simply growing from the living wood around them. Custom orders are also available to those willing to wait for the time it takes to hand craft a piece from scratch.

Nrash was born and raised in The Spires, with no desire to ever leave. He is a devoted artist and craftsman, having spent centuries perfecting his craft. He is a greatly patient individual, believing that one can never rush beauty, and that it will emerge from the wood when it is due time. He is often known to spend several days, or in some cases weeks, simply contemplating a piece of wood. Just as one cannot rush the growth of a tree, one cannot rush the forming of an idea in the artist's mind. Only when he is certain he can see the life within the wood will he begin work.

Like most Jamoura, Nrash is never quick to anger or brash decisions. Even his pride in his work is something slow to evolve, satisfaction with a piece coming forth step by step with each touch of a chisel against wood. He never rushes to meet deadlines, and his clients know that an order will be fulfilled in due time, and will always be well worth the wait.
