Ardaqa

Down in the Estuan Islands and on the eastern coast of Xetruana lies a series of massive spires of rock that tower over the land and cross over the coastline. These are not mountains - rather, ancient remnants from some bygone battle lost to the annals of history. These spires are referred to as the Atlita - the Ridge - and the city built upon and under it is named Ardaqa.

Districts

The city is largely split into two districts: the Shoreline District, built into the ground floor, and the Cliffside District, built into the very face of the Atlita itself.

Tourism

The natural beauty of Ardaqa and the Atlita above it is enough to make the city a much-covered piece of conversations, highly ranked in terms of dream destinations or places to visit before one dies. Possibly more famous than the places themselves are the people that reside within them; Feather Dancers, named for their grace when being carried down by the winds and gravity, are another main attraction of Ardaqa. Famous for their trade of dancing while falling from a suspended rope, the shock and awe of such a sight has made its way into many a sailor's tale.

Architecture

Xetruana's palms are caramel-colored when treated, meaning that the houses built in Ardaqa largely follow the same color scheme. This also goes for the scaffolding and architecture built into the Cliffside District, appearing for all intents and purposes like the crawling veins of some honeyed sickness spider-webbing to try and reach the very top of the Atlita.

Geography

Ardaqa is a town wreathed largely in shadow, the looming peak of the Atlita always hanging overhead. The sands are a pure white, the water a crystal blue - so beautiful a place shall never be seen again, say those who lay eyes upon Ardaqa's shores.
