The Spindle is an ancient structure that extends from the {{favilink|banana grove|plural}} of Qud to the heavens above. At least to some denizens of Qud, such as the [[Barathrumites]], the Spindle is perceived as an enigmatic beacon of hope and possibility. It is not clear exactly how tall it is and where it may end. Near the surface, the Spindle is surrounded by the {{favilink|Tomb of the Eaters}}. It is not clear exactly whether the tomb is itself part of the spindle or if it was perhaps constructed around it. At the central zone of the Tomb's accessible levels, the Spindle appears to be constructed of solid {{favilink|burnished azzurum}}.
