Skylith


A very large skylith orbiting in the middle reaches, Duquesne is a major shipping hub for all of Skyway because of its favorable location.  Its size and a quirk of shape allows support of three large port cities as well as export of agricultural goods.

Orbit:
Circular, flat, 24 hour revolution.
Rotation:
synchronous
Gravity:
earth-normal
Terrain:
Relatively flat outward surface, with a mountain range in the north curling around to a cliff on the leading edge.  The mountain range as well as hills in the south are forested.  Central plain descending gently to the westward edge, the southern part of which is marshy.
Governance:
council of elected Mayors, deferring to Mayor of Cliffshadow

Associations present:

  • Academy of Magic has a campus in Cliffshadow.
  • Bardic Conservatory is in Three Rivers, a town in the center of the skylith.
  • Children of Āhua have a settlement in the southeast hills named Mantzur with mostly firbolg, Wild elves.

  • Freelancers have a Tavern in Cliffshadow.
