Skyria

Skyria, the shining pride of Alii. The city is named for the sky because it is built not next to but over the fork in the Skayria River. This puts it high up enough in the sky that the more spired buildings are known to collect clouds and mist at their tips. It is esteemed as the most beautiful city in all of the Kingdoms, some would deem it more beautiful than Vostanthia itself.

Unfortunately, Skyria was destroyed during Armageddons War: burned to the ground by a zealot army. Now it is in the process of being rebuilt. The cloud height palace still stands, but much of the market and surrounding town was destroyed.

Beyond it's previous beauty, Skyria is also known for the unique practice of sky fishing. Citizens sit on the edge of the city and throw impossibly long lines over the edge into the river below. It is known to be either incredibly peaceful, which involves taking safety precautions, or incredibly thrilling and dangerous, which involves the risk of being tossed over edge. There are designated areas for each type.

On Autumn and Spring solstices the city takes takes a day of and holds the Sky Festival. This involves your standard feasting, drinking and celebrating. Kites are a heavy theme on this day. Kite shows by powerful mages, kite art competitions for builders and artists. General kite flying activities by everyone else.
