The bargain beneath the skyline
A city teaches power what it is allowed to become.
History
James Judd's expedition into the Aerial Cradle connected Skyhaven engineering to Nychrion and placed the territory at the center of a larger conflict involving the Glydras and Voraxn.
Culture
The Cradle has no conventional civilian culture; every surviving account treats the territory as an ecosystem, sacred site, and strategic resource at once.
Government
No nation maintains reliable control over the high peaks. Access is restricted by terrain, non-human territorial claims, and the danger of Nychrion extraction.
