Eddenfair, The Imperial Capital
The Capital, so beautiful from afar, and yet so foul within. The rich get richer, the poor grow hungrier.

Defences
The city is surrounded by tall walls, with boxy defense towers built around the perimeter, each standing 200 feet tall and 60 feet wide. At the top of each tower sits both a single cannon and two ballistas, perfect for defense against airships. Parapets line the walkways along the top of the walls, granting defenders an advantage against enemy forces that might be attacking by ground.
Industry & Trade
The Capital is the hub of trade within the Empire, with an integrated airship port allowing for merchant and shipping vessels to load or unload their wares. Natural resources like wood and stone are aplenty on most skylands. More valuable resources like ore, crops, or livestock however are rarer, and many skylands only have one or two sources of these resources. To make up for this, the colonies and City-States within the Empire trade freely with each other, allowing for an even spread of these specialty resources across the Empire.
Infrastructure
Gigantic stone palace, standing over 200 feet tall. Stone and brick buildings make up the bulk of the city. A river runs through the center of the circular city, slicing it in half, and watermills are built all along it on either side. 3 Stone bridges, equally spaced, allow for passage over the river. The roads are made of light gray stone bricks. Under the city is an intricate sewer system, which runs all the way out to the edge of the skyland. Within the mountain the Citadel is located directly next to, is a massive airship bay.
Assets
The palace itself is loaded with valuable trinkets and objects of fancy worth thousands, not to mention the Imperial Coffers; the location is a mystery though. Daily shipments from other colonies and independent city-states keep the food stores well stocked and the income flowing. The armory, located next to the barracks, is loaded with hundreds of swords, spears, bows, javelins, crossbows, axes, and a fair amount of flintlock firearms.
Geography
Nestled into the eastern base of the mountain sprouting from the southern end of the skyland, The Capital benefits from defense and valuable resources. A river runs through the center of the city, originating from the mountain and flowing to the North, towards the woodlands encroaching the city's walls, and eventually to Bracken Lake.
Natural Resources
Built near the eastern base of a mountain, stones and ores such as iron and copper are aplenty, with vast woodlands providing wood. Horned Ibu, prancing deer that exhibit fey-like grace and mischief, provide a sustainable source of meat and animal material.
