Who took that arch from Spur in the first place, and why?


The Government of Spur did. It was before Merlin was governor. That governor traded the arch (which had been standing along the street in the Administrative District) for something--some small town maybe--that Rathan had controlled.

Since I've made my proposal, I've learned that the Arch no longer stands in Rathan either. Instead it is nearby in a community of golems. I suppose the City of Rathan gave it to the Golems to bribe them into not raiding the city.
