Rados
A large city built on the back of a flatback flying turtle. Rados is highly mobile and uses this to its advantage. Flying from location to location, trade goods slung under the great turtle itself, spires glistening in the sunlight above.
There are currently concerns about the age of the great turtle, as it is at least 800 years old, and flatbacks usually live to be about 1200 years old. The Guild of Guides is currently working on ways to extend her lifespan.
