The city is built like a spiral (twisting dragon) around the peak of a mountain with the head of the dragon being the peak.
Ruled by the High Council which is made up of 6 Dragonborn Champions.
- Champion of Strength
- Champion of Endurance
- Champion of Wisdom
- Champion of Word
- Champion of Skill
- Champion of Intelligence
The Bowels
The lowest levels of this city are dirty and most of the waste from the upper levels flows here before flowing down the mountain. Many thieves and the scum of the city live here.
The Body
This is the larger of the two tracts that wrap around the mountain. Most of the homes in the city are located along this tract.
The Tail
The tail represents the majority of the shops and merchants that wrap around the mountain on a separate tract from the body.
The Wings
The Wings are two large stone structures hanging over nothingness like wings of a dragon. These massive parts of the city are where most temples (to Bahamut/Tiamat/Io) and smiths are located. A few wealthy denizens live on the Wings.
The Crown
The peak of the mountain, carved into a giant dragon’s head, is known as the Crown. Within the Crown, is the Fortress of the Sky. This is where the High Council resides along with the Light of 1000 Years – a white flame that has burned consistently without care for at least 1000 years, deep within the heart of the fortress. The Fortress was built around it about 900 years ago.
The Flame Within
Beneath the peak, deep within the Fortress of the Sky sits the Light of 1000 Years, the Flame Within. It was thought that Bahamut cast this magical flame down upon the mountaintop as a sign that the dragonborn (who traveled from Arkhosia) should settle a holy city upon it. The flame has burned ever since.
