Highfall

Highfall is the capital of Percantia, the land of the Summer Fae. The city sits within a great cliff overlooking the Golden Gulf. Located on the northern border of Percantia, Highfall is the only city in the country to have ever allowed humans to enter. Many merchants and artisans try to enter the city to learn from the ageless faeries. Highfall is home to the creators of some of the most powerful magic, especially in the ongoing Fading of magic.

Government

Highfall is led by the Summer King. He is counselled by representatives of each district except Manwall. These representatives vote upon and present issues and laws, but the Summer King has the final word.

Districts

The districts of highfall are separated by which of the cliff's steppes it is built upon. The Summer Palace, Turna Greine sits atop the cliff. Each steppe below is a different district of a lower class.

Ardsidhe

The highest steppe below the palace, Lords and Ladies of faerie make their residence here. These beings rule over their respective lesser faeries. They are masters of their craft, seen as near perfect beings by lesser fae. Only the most accomplished faeries may ascend to Ardsidhe, but any faerie of enough renown could do so, no matter their origin.

Larsidhe

Still of the upper crust, greater fae of Summer such as Sidhe and Tylwyth Teg reside here. Not as legendary as the Faerie Lords and Ladies, they are fabled nontheless.

Bunsith

The lesser summer fae of Highfall reside in Bunsith, including Gnomes, Little Folk, and Malkins. This steppe is the most populous in the city. Bunstih is the steppe the most open to outsiders, aside from Manwall.

Manwall

Manwall is made up of human refugees and visitors looking for support from the fae. Made up mostly of slums, beggars, and camps, Manwall is seen as a scourge upon the city by the residents of Larsidhe and Ardsidhe. Each year, a handful of humans are chosen to be taught a trade of their choice by the Highfae before being cast back into the world. These humans often become legendary craftsman of their trade, be it enchanting, engineering, artisanship, or any other skill known by the fae.
