sky citadel

Rising out of the fog above all the surrounding mountains lies the Cloudhoppers' main city. With pearly white spires and glass windows spanning floor to ceiling, the grandiose architecture rivals that of the Silvers' castle. Only the high-class and educated live here, with those of lower rank entering upon invitation or to bring much-needed food. Scholars, artisans, and ambassadors roam the spacious halls, speaking only in whispered breaths, as every careless sound echoes far beyond the intended ear. True to reputation, libraries make up the majority of the inner spaces, with the outer rim containing mostly shops and quiet boutiques. Other species are rarely seen wandering here, as the air is thin and the way up, treacherous. But with a little help, even Southerners can come to enjoy the luxury of the citadel.
