The Pinnacle
The Pinnacle is the largest city in Obrios and is also the most dramatically different from all the other capitals. Located at the peak of The Reach, The Pinnacle is at the highest point in all of Obrios. Sometimes referred to as the City in the Clouds or The Cloud City, The Pinnacle has clouds passing though it on a daily basis. These clouds sometimes come in the form of lightning storms in the middle of the street in the lower districts.
The Pinnacle is also the most technologically advanced city, with multiple Light-Rail lines leading to various locations in the city and large golems that patrol the streets and keep the peace. The capital is also a hub of industry and is home to multiple "Sky-Scrapers" used in the production of Dawnstone related technology as well as farming and other forms of industry.
The Pinnacle is also home to Duskpoint Harborage, a small walled off city founded by King Dawnlord Darmanganian Talahil that houses the Drained of Obrios and is sanctuary to all Fateless who wish to live there.
Juspia and The Pinnacle are currently under the rule of King Dawnlord Darmanganian Talahil and is one of only two monarchies on Obrios.
Demographics
Like all cities on Obrios, The Pinnacle has a very wide demographic, as does most of Juspia. However, there is a noticeable increase in the amount of native Half-Orcs and Elves.
Government
Juspia is a monarchist country and is ruled by the Talahil Royal family.
Defences
Located on the top of The Reach and almost completely walled in, The Pinnacle is a very defense-able city. In order to enter the city, one must either traverse to the top of the mountain via a number of winding paths, or alternatively they can take one of the four lifts from the base of the mountain to the top of the city. Once at the top of The Reach, the city has only one entrance that leads through one of the many small peaks of the mountain and into the city. If one attempted to siege The Pinnacle, the attackers would be seen long before they even managed to arrive at the city.
The city also is home to the only Golem army on Obrios.
Industry & Trade
The Pinnacle thrives off of its trade and innovation. It is the main supplier of all the Dawnstone technology throughout Obrios. The Light-Rail is also a staple of The Pinnacle and is essential for the transportation of trade goods, not only for Juspia, but for all of Obrios.
Tourism is a huge part of life on The Pinnacle as well. People come from all over Obrios to witness The Rising there as well as to indulge in all the various forms of unique and exotic entertainment that the technology of The Pinnacle provides. From Street Racing to Golem Fighting and gambling, The Pinnacle has it all and provides endless hours of entertainment.
Infrastructure
The Pinnacle is the most industrial of all the cities on Obrios. Tall "Sky-Scrapers" have been built to house additional space for industry and development in the city. Multiple Light-Rail lines run throughout the city and are used as a primary method of transportation. Various cable cars also run in multiple districts.
The Pinnacle is the only city on Obrios to have Dawnstone Depots, which distribute Bond-able Dawnstones to those of age who do not wish to complete The Rising.
Assets
Most of the Pinnacles assets are in the form of Blueprints and Schematics for the various technologies in the city. They also have a large supply of Bond-able Dawnstones that can be purchased as well for those who do not wish to complete The Rising.

History
The Pinnacle was founded in 1425 and was the second city settled after the Vucboon expanded out of Nen Doral. A small tribe known as the Tarrelites settled at the base of The Reach. However, they were unaware of The Swell in the North and most of them were wiped out. The survivors fled to the top of The Reach and rebuilt at the top of the mountain, creating The Pinnacle.
The Tarrelites were considered heretics by most for neglecting The Rising and settling at the top of The Reach. Over the years, opinions have changed and only a few select few still look down on the Juspian's Dawnstone methods.
In the year 1654 the Juspian's built "The Great Wall" to the north of The Reach, protecting them from The Swell and allowing them to expand down The Reach and throughout the rest of Juspia.
Architecture
The architecture in The Pinnacle is drastically different depending on which part of the city you are in. Some districts have narrow winding streets, lined with low-rise buildings, while other districts have large open plazas and large single story houses.
Most buildings in The Pinnacle are very colorful and have some form of technology used to power their houses (usually in the form of solar panels or lightning rods).
The most notable buildings in The Pinnacle are the "Sky-Scrapers". These massive buildings range anywhere in size from 20 stories to 100. The tallest Sky-Scraper even extends higher then the tallest peak on The Reach. Most of these massive buildings are connected to adjacent buildings via bridges or tunnels.
Geography
The city is located on The Reach and is at the highest elevation in all of Obrios. Due to the high altitude, it is not uncommon for various types of clouds and storm clouds to pass through the city streets. There are very few sources of fresh water in the city because most of the city is above cloud level, but there are a few lakes and ponds made by rerouting water from lower altitude bodies of water.
The Pinnacle is built around the tallest peak on The Reach, with Castle Talahil built on the peak. There are six other smaller peaks located throughout the city as well.
Natural Resources
Very few natural resources exist on The Pinnacle aside from their abundance of Dawnstones.
