After a long journey into the air, the upper side of a thick tundra of white clouds opens up like a wide mesa made of nothing but swirling strands of bleached cotton. The cloud bank extends toward the north, where ominous sounds of metal clashing can be heard and dark plumes of smoke smudge the horizon as war rages on within the heavens. A warbanner stands here.
Death and mayhem in the sky! Powerful magic has been used here to change an innocent cloud layer into a semisolid, fog shrouded battlefield. Spatters of blood and broken feathers litter the landscape and the corpses of two different types of winged beings can be seen. Clearly both sides in this war are taking a beating.

Fragile structures made from gossamer wisps of spun clouds now float shattered and scorched. This wonderful city built by angels is no more, and even its remains will soon unravel. Far to the east floats a glowing dome, seemingly made of a tougher substance and still intact.

Here and there lie broken pieces of Dark weapons and armor, discarded here in favor of equipment in better condition. Wisps of gray smoke smudge the drifting clouds just above what feels like solid ground.

Here and there lie broken pieces of Dark weapons and armor, discarded here in favor of equipment in better condition. Wisps of gray smoke smudge the drifting clouds just above what feels like solid ground. To the north lies a huge tent.
Here floats a huge tent! The top of it must reach 30 feet above the cloud layer and only a mighty magic could be employed to keep it stationary up here in the sky. The tent flap itself reaches two-thirds of the way up and could provide entrance to a whole squadron of angels simultaneously.
Maps cover almost every inch of this enormous tent, pouring from the desk onto the carpet. There are a couple chests laying around, maybe the treasure Zeonari boasts of is in one of them.
A small magical 'pocket' has been opened up in the clouds below Zeonari's tent.
A cross between a field hospital and a makeshift temple, this is where the seriously wounded Angels of Darkness are brought. Cots fill the tent where soldiers await the ministrations of the healers.
This is where all the dead are buried. It's just a hole in the cloud!!
Cool and dark, the inside of this tent feels a lot like being blind inside a cavern after going through the bright white clouds. Extra supplies for the soldiers of Darkness have been stored here under guard while they besiege the forces of Light. From the southern end wafts a strong animal odor and a strange rumbling.
Mounds of straw littered with bones and feathers fill up this southern end of an enormous tent-like structure. The way the straw has been built up into several bowl shaped indentations reminds one of birds nests, only much larger.
Neat stacks of rune lettered books and cryptically labeled jars have been set upon a table in the center of this tent. Fine cushions and thick blankets have been set in the back and two plain cots with bedrolls flank the door flap.
The dome seems to be made of polished black stone and put together in such a cunning way as to look, from a distance, like it is all one piece. A faint blue aura surrounds the entire fortress, probably the visual manifestation of the spells used to keep it aloft. One of the black stones seems to be etched with the silhouette of a small scroll. No entrance can be readily seen, but a path down seems to invite the unwary.
It looks like someone did try to force an entrance into the dome this way, but a large brown stain attests that the would-be intruder had some bad luck.
Empty room
It is dark inside the dome except for a profusion of candles that light up some of the pathways of a small town built within. The structures here are made of stone and wood instead of spun clouds like those outside the dome.
The alley is very dark as the light from the candles is blocked by the buildings here. The alley seems very quiet except for the occasional sounds of small animals flying around. Any danger might lurk here, hidden in the shadows.

This used to be a nice, peaceful town but now it has an air of panic and sorrow. Hiding in the shadows are eyes that are watchful for intruders. To the north and south are the city's guard posts. A tower rises up in the center of the dome.
The base of this tower is just one large, high ceilinged room, open in all directions to the rest of the town. A wide staircase leads upwards.

Walking in, anyone would have realized that this was a refugee's camp. The survivors from the village outside the dome crowd and huddle together for warmth and comfort. The youngsters huddle in one corner playing some sort of game. At the sight of intruders, the refugees stand up immediately and the youngsters hide behind their mothers.
This temple was built and dedicated to Lyda, the Goddess of Flame and Fire, just before she fell from grace and was ousted from the Pantheon for cheating. Rumor has it that before she was destroyed, Lyda charmed the Angels of Light into believing she was their only Protector and had them construct a marble statue where she could hide a part of her essence. Since her fall, her few followers have contrived to stage this war in hopes to gain enough power to either resurrect their Goddess or revenge her death.
When the Angels of Light constructed this altar, they were completely enamored with the Goddess. Some small cracks and scrapes in the stone look like someone later made an attempt to destroy it.
This is the city's guard station. Here lies a wide array of weapons and armor displayed along the walls. Soldiers come in and out of the room to rest, heal, and get weapons and armor. Everyone in this room is very busy preparing for the next attack from the Angels of Darkness.

Tools for making armor and weapons lie around here. An anvil stands at the corner of the room. The heat in this room is almost unbearable. It's a wonder that anyone would want to be a blacksmith.

The center of the tower is as huge as the room below. Light is provided by candles along the wall. There are corridors leading off in all directions. A powerful humming and an awful stench seem to both be coming from the north.
A huge door made of some unknown material stands between this room and the next. The magic here is overwhelming. Strong magic is definitely being worked behind this strange door.
The chamber is magnificent! It is lit by a huge candle standing on a candlestick. The walls are covered by purple silk, giving the room a magnificent glow. A round table is situated in the middle of the room. All types of maps lie scattered on the table.
This small room is hidden behind a larger chamber and is kept dark. It has only one exit, back through the silk curtains, and is walled in on all other sides with a dark black stone.
It's pretty creepy here. Not a sound can be heard even from the smallest creature. The way is lit by candles along the corridor. To the south is a huge door. It's hard to tell what this door is made of. To the west is a maid's chamber.
The atmosphere in this room differs from the rest. A worried yet calm and benign presence can be felt. Besides a bed, a chair and a table, the room is pretty much empty.

The room is in a mess! Papers, maps and clothing lie all over the room. Brightly glowing orbs light up a cluttered writing desk in the corner. A door in the west wall provides the only entrance or exit.

Torn bedding and partially eaten remains of small animals seem to be the sum total of the furnishings here. The heavy door in the east wall has a small slot and a tough looking lock that can only be unlocked from the outside.
In the room, maids could be seen running in and out, trying to make their elders comfortable. The room is filled with brooms, buckets, sheets and some beds for the maids to sleep in.
An insubstantial stairway of shimmering light seems to stretch upwards into a bank of clouds and downwards to almost reach a dark spire jutting from the mountains below.
A spire of dark stone thrusts up abruptly from the mountainous trail, pointing towards a strange bank of clouds that seem to be remaining stationary even though strong gusts of wind whip around the peaks and scream through narrow cracks like a flock of banshees. A shimmering line seems to stretch upwards from the highest point of the spire.
Shaped by wind and the seasons, this jutting spire of dark stone points towards the heavens like an accusing skeletal finger. Just above this narrow summit, a strange shimmering in the cold air outlines what seems to be an almost invisible staircase that stretches upwards into the clouds.
Thick earthtone carpets cover the floor and walls, and deep-set windows with wide sills let in light from all directions. A maze of shelves create a 'kitty highway' from window to window, to floor, to chandelier, to curtains, and to high ledges near the ceiling. An ornate privacy screen shields off one corner where a huge, magically self-cleaning, litter box sits. Felines of all ages, sizes, colors, and breeds lounge or play as they like.
Manicured bushes and fragrant flowers border pathways and stairways of gold. The two short stairways and the path to the east are almost immediately shrouded in swirling mists, and to the west there is a small white temple with many windows. A small sign reads:
Up - Wizboard Down - Common East - Hot Tub West - The Kathouse South - Dyrnia's Garden
Sculptured hedges surround an area of lush lawn broken up by small gardens of various shapes and colors. Wonderful scents of herbs and flowers perfume the light spring breeze and the tinkling of water splashing from a central marble fountain brings on an inner peace unlike no other.
