The fishing town of Saltor was all but destroyed by a big ocean flood.
The Saltori people built their houses vertically to get every citizen onto the dry spot on the coast.
The universities of Saltor solidified their own territory, artificially protecting it from the floods and outside forces.
After the solidification of the Saltori towers and the universities, the 2nd big flood of Saltor was barely more than a city-wide inconvenience. Two drunkards died.
Representatives of 14 Ekuran communities signed a protection and peace treaty to save themselves and each other from the dragon invasion.
As a response to the destructive war, the Saltori started to fortify their walls and towers.
