Settlement


A large city towards the eastern side of skylith Grafton, Filigree is renowned for its distinctive architectural style.  Graceful towers reach skyward, supported by flying buttresses and connected with bridges.  Towers at the edge of the city serve as vertical docks for the airships, their great elevators hauling cargo up and down the central pillar from the jutting platforms.  The entire city has beautiful architecture catering to large and small... but not so much, to medium.
