The Lunar Sea Spire: Abandoned Aristocratic Gathering Point.
A first of what would have been many Spires of a similar kind, The Lunar Sea spires are massive towers that stand in the middle of the oceans and are seldom seen by humans, being only accessible through a warpad or a very long flight or swim. These structures were intended to be a gathering points for those of Gemkind, one could find Performances and plays, Tasteful music and most importantly the chance to mingle and speak with other gems in an aesthetically pleasing and refined setting. The many floors allowing gems of the same walk of life to gather and diverge with those like them. Those of a more intellectual disposition could become engrossed in elaborate conversation with their equals, Pearls of many masters offered an opportunity to speak with one another, for seers like Sapphires to amalgamate and gaze into a shared future together, or perhaps a rare few other elite to gain a audience with them and have their own futures told, and the prospect for many more aristocratic gems to network and speak.
This though is not the current reality of the spire, with the Cut off from Homeworld and the Rise of the rebellion afterwards the area has fallen into neglect and disrepair. What was once thought to be a safe zone for Homeworld gems to hide in during the cut off has now been left abandoned as the conflict of both sides has begun to spark, and through this conflict the Moon Goddess Statue meant to maintain and power the spire has long since been destroyed or taken, be it by rebels or something else, leaving the structure to weather the elements.
Rumours have persisted though that something else perhaps lurks within or around the ocean of the structure, those brave enough to trek into the spire has noted how accelerated the damage seems to be in such a short time, making those suspect that the damage to the structure is perhaps not wholly the creation of normal weathering, and that something more monstrous has rampaged through the structure, and may still be skulking round.
Still, in its current state the Spire acts as foregone dream of what could have been a grand Colony for Homeworld gems, or a stern reminder to the Crystal Gems of the control and oppression that the they are fighting against.
