The City of Nova Ventis

Government

The Council of Seven, also known as The Seven, the High Council and the Ruling Council, is the name given to the high council of Nova Ventis. These Seven individuals are the leaders of both the city and all territories under the control of Nova Ventis. The Seven are usually the most gifted in each school of magic respectively.

Defences

The floating city itself is a weapon with a large focusing crystal used to amplify the magic of the powerful wizards within. The city is also shielded with a magical barrier that prevents anything unwanted from coming within 100ft of the city.
The fact that the city is usually between 500 to 1000 ft above ground level is an additional layer of defence.

Infrastructure

The city itself is self sustaining for the most part. The city has markets, trade districts, residence, and inns and taverns. One of the most popular attractions of the city is the university, where a select few come to study under the masters of the arcane arts.
The city defence is handled by the Silver Enclave. Within the Silver Enclave magics military and combat applications are studied.

Assets

The City is home to the largest collection of magical knowledge in the world. Only a select few have the rights to access everything it has to offer. It is said that the city vaults have a catalogue of every magical spell, item and artifact known to wizardkind.

History

Originally located by the Landamere Lake in Eldia, the city was magically moved to the sky by the power of its magi. The magi had to flee because the Desolation sent a ban on magic across Vash. Early on they fought against those who marched on a crusade to eradicate the use of magic on Vash. Much of the cities history was spent in isolation but never once would they turn a blind eye to the suffering of those who lived below them. If a village was ravaged by famine they would magically produce the food to feed them. If a city suffered from an unknown illness, they would find the cure. Never asking for much in return, only an end to the witch hunts. As time passed the ban on magic would fade away to an unpleasant memory and once again the magi of Nova Ventis would be sought after.
