Upper City

The Upper City(a.k.a. Skyshield, City on the Mist) Is a version of Nostris Lux constructed atop a large patch of magically stabilized clouds over the ocean south east of Paral. The upper city began as just an exploratory outpost investigating the fractured and muddled state of the planes in the city. Construction of an actual city only began when businesses began to capitalize on the unique marine ecosystem created by the permanent patch of clouds. Several elevators hang down from the city, as well as many mostly defunct towers, which are abandoned due to the difficulty of maintaining their structure and safety. Water flows out from the tower, the remaining water pours off the edge of the city, while sewage is piped back towards the Tower. The Tower itself extends all the way down and into the ocean. Surprisingly few of the products of the ocean below Skyshield are safely edible, but many are used as alchemical and magical reagents.

There are numerous maintenance catwalks running along the underside of the city, intended for the maintenance of the pipes below the bottoms of the clouds. They are rarely used and can allow for stealthy travel across the upper city.

The Upper city has a gate to the Main City in its north and a gate to the North City in its south
