The First City
The deep, the mid and the high city, Centerspire of Dalaam.

The capital city came about, as so many do, out of necessity and coincidence rather than foresight and good planning. It was located, simply enough on the largest mountain spire in the early days of cultivation.

Before the core and rim territories were established, there were a select few who found themselves on a mountain in the sky. They struggled atop their spire, and after centuries, has colonized all the immediately surrounding mountains. The tallest of these was where the most powerful chose to build his house, and so the first fortress on the highest rock was built.

More generations passed, each adding more and more to the mountain, carving the rock and making the once nameless fortress become the clean stone jewel ontop of an ornately carved sceptre that was the mountain. Steps and tiers were carved out and inhabited. Beneath the fortress,a city grew, curling around the mountain from the peak in Top Sky, as it was known, on down to the cloudfloor that swam at the bottom of Low Sky. Stretching all three airspaces, the largest city of skies was born.

Once what historians and chroniclers call the Age of Blood, or more eloquently the age of aggressive expansion and Colonization, drew to a close, a King sat at the head of the largest and tallest capital, the only true metropolis in the sky. With the King's Palace, Fortress, Court and Empire dominating the mountain's peak plateau, the capital metropolis, Spaeral City flourished beneath.
