Cloudcap Towers
A 'last stop before' inn located at the threshhold between Stratos 4 and 5. It serves as an aether trading, fueling, and repair station for ships attempting to reach Strago 5. Cloudcap Towers is named for the three vertical docking-stems joining the topmost ring. It was once a burg-mining rig that elected to become a docking/fueling station rather than serve under bosses after the Boss Articles were passed.
Due to it's location, it charges pretty expensive rates on the stuff they sell. Rooms aren't homey or hospitable - they're hard metal, with sparce decoration. It feels like an oil rig in the sky.
NEED: what was the former company called? what was the rig called when it was a mining rig?
