How were the legends of the spider spire started if no one has ever seen it? Presumably, some climber found an odd spire somewhere and told people about it, but if that is the case why is it not a landmark that has been explored?
Andrew Rowe
The spires are all discussed in the sacred scriptures, and beyond that, the visages talk about them directly to their followers.
Beyond that, it's not that no one has ever seen it, necessarily - it's that there is no commonly agreed upon location. There are plenty of stories about it being in specific places - some claim it's the spire in the center of the Unclaimed Lands. Others believe it's in the Lavian Archipelago. Some people believe it's on the island of Erawen.
Some stories imply it was out in the open at some point in history, but was hidden as a result of human hubris. Others claim that plenty of people have found it; they simply lose their memories of it, similar to going through a Judgment.

Both in the AA series and in readers questions you have said that people could take multiple judgments but they get harder each time, how much more difficult is it to take a second judgment? Also if Corin took a second judgment would it be easier for him compared to his first?
