Quintex
The ancient city of Quintex, discovered during The Scourge is a massive city that hangs above the clouds. Long abandoned by its previous owners the massive city made of marble and gold has known many denizens in the past few centuries. The current residents are a large group of Cloud Giants who over the past 200 years have built themselves a utopia in the sky, with various servants tending to their every need and slaves stolen from the ground to populate the city and guard them against any intruders. The cities denizens, by the people of the ground world standards, in luxury, however they live with limited freedoms and most could be killed at any time by any number of the cloud giants. However, in the past few years the cloud giants are rarely seen outside their massive palace and only appear to collect their tithe of luxorious food and wine and the people of the city have been left to their own devices which has led to a new form of tyranny with the cloud giants underlings taking control of the confused and weak slaves.
Demographics
The city of Quintex is currently made up of 4 main races wplit into 3 castes. On top of the caste, but the least numerous are the cloud giants who rule the city from the Castle in the Sky as the citizens call it. Next is the underlings of the cloud giants who enforce order to the bottom slave caste, this caste is made primarily of Aarakocra, Goliaths, Nordlings or a select few of the slave caste that has proved themselves useful. Finally there is the slave caste who do all the manual labor and trades inside the city. This caste has freedoms inside the city but it still at the mercy of the two upper castes and are not allowed to leave the city. Most of the slave caste arent aware there is an outside world.
Government
The government of Quintex is very basic. The cloud giants rule with an ironfist from atop the Castle in the Sky and hand down orders to their underlings who enforce it to the slave caste. The cloud giants were rarely seen, but even less so in the past year which has led to the underlings taking more power within the city and rumors have even spread that the underlings have fully seized control of the Castle in the Sky.

Architecture
The cities architecture consists of massive structures built of marble and gold. The buildings in the city seem impossible by the people of the ground with massive hanging buildings with no supporting pillars, towers built at angles and castles built atop massive thin pyres of rock. The city is almost blinding to look at with all the marble and the gold that reflects the light of the open blue sky.
