Fingeral is a coastal area with hundreds of spires and columns of rock jutting from the seabed and rising above the waves for dozens and hundreds of feet. All of these rocky formation were unnaturally made in the Demon Spawn War by Sathel. With her artifact of creation, the Baton of Sathel, she raised spires and columns as part of the coastal defenses protecting the Covenant citadel Parhaer.

In the Demon Spawn War, this coastal bastion served as a place of relative safety for those threatened by Gorag'theg's demon hordes swimming out of the Sôvuk Sea Gate. By land and air, they also had to contest advances made by Orcus's minions. The sea attacks proved the most damaging. For a long time, Gorag'theg controlled the seas. The opposing Covenant armies gave up the area to protect Irengor. Sathel did what she could for the landlubbers holed up in Parhaer, creating a web of spires to serve as a defense against invasions by sea. The people of Parhaer built fortifications on some of these spires and interlaced those tightly packed with barbed nets and other barricades. Fingeral proved to be most effective against Gorag'theg's demon hordes. He never succeeded in capturing the place. When faced by Orcus's demons, the city's population retreated into the fortresses dotting the spires, holding them off long enough for reinforcements to arrive, or the demons tiring of the struggle.

Today the spires of Fingeral are interlaced with reefs making the area unnavigable by ships of deep draft. The spires are still reachable from the shore with rope bridges and permanent ones going outward for miles in all directions. Those closer to the shore hold manors, homes of the wealthy, or company owned. Those spires near the deep channel leading into the port of Parhaer still hold their defensive value with them serving as coastal fortifications and garrisons for the Tári Súrion.
