Chronwhorl
Chronwhorl is the city established as the capital of the Children of Radiance. The city is built above a giant crater, right at the northern most point of the world. Since the world is nearly tidally locked, this means that the city sits in a state of perpetual light. The sun's path through the sky, as seen from the city spires, is a ring around the city, just above the horizon at all times. Just above the sun's path in all directions is the edge of a dome of golden light, known as the Radiance. Between the constant sunlight and the light from the Radiance the city is always fully lit.
While the settlement that Chronwhorl is build upon was established in 1 EH, the current iteration of the city and it's distinctive spires was completed in 233 EH. The city is held aloft by five spokes that extend from the center of the city out into the lands surrounding it. The only entrance to the city is along roads that sit on top of these spokes. It takes half a day's travel to walk from the crater rim to the linked city gate. A short walk straight in from each gate leads to one of the six city spires. The final spire is located that the very center of the city, where all the spokes meet.

Demographics
The population of Chronwhorl is human and Myth Touched. There are no Mythics known to be living in the city. The Children of Radiance live in the six spires of the city, and can only do so by belonging to one of the six spires. Anyone deemed lesser or myth touched live in the streets and houses of the city, below the fogline.
Show spoiler
Far below the fogline, and deep in the crater the city is buit above, lives one massive ice dragon. She is bound in body, mind, and soul; unable to communicate or help the myth touched brought into her ruling. Even in this state, a bitter cold radiates from her and greatly effects the crater and city above.
