City of Skyfall

City of Heaven. Fortress of the Skies.

Settled on a floating landmass in the clouds, the City of Skyfall is the home of the Celestials and is where the body of Archangels rule. Split into a main city and a slum, the City of Skyfall stands as a marvel of cultural growth and advantageous military location.

Demographics

Skyfall is separated into three main economical demographics, with the Archangels and nobles being at the top with the most wealth and priviledges. Due to the fact that Celestials don't need food, there is no threat of the civilians dying of starvation, but there are a lot more occupational opportunities available to the higher two brackets.   In the second bracket are the normal Pure Celestials. All of these Celestials have a pure Celestial heritage and live in the body of the city of Skyfall. This bracket makes up most off the population and consists mostly of tinkerers and artisans. The most common occupations among this bracket is Musicians and Artists.   In the lowest bracket are the Darkling Celestials, a mixture of Celestial and other species. Within this bracket, the Darklings can be further categorized, depending on what their other parent was. Surface dwellers, such as Elves, Dwarves, Fey, etc are given much more priviledges than the children of demons and creatures that dwell in Fernal. This lower bracket lives primarily in the Slums, a much more secluded and less maintained section of the city. The most common occupations among this bracket are Soldiers and other Military positions.

Government

The City of Skyfall is ruled over collectively by the family of Archangels, with Damasca having the most political control. The Archangels run most aspects of Celestial life and also control most diplomatic affairs too, controlling the movements of ambassadors and declaring wars and conflicts as needed.   Under the eyes of Damasca, the Twins Zephiel and Lilani are specifically in charge of military operations. The duties are split evenly between the twins with Lilani leading the charges and Zephiel strategizing battles. While they are under Damasca's orders, they are given an amount of freedom to do as they please that is uncommon in other military cultures.

Defences

Located high in the air and looming over the ocean, the City of Skyfall is one of the most heavily defended cities in all of Ustremmel. The entire city has a large marble wall that protects it from walking threats and the skies are constantly surveilled by Zephiel's familiars.

Architecture

The City of Skyfall is made mostly of marble and glass, leading to a grand shimmering effect during mid-day. The buildings are made tall, slim, and elegant with no holding back. Depending on the personality of the home owners, homes in Skyfall will be adorned with a variety of magical ornaments, ranging from beautiful suncatchers to quirky colored statues.   Within the transitional section to the slums, the houses will start to lose some of their glass sheen and slenderness. Once you fully reach the slums, most of the houses are made purely out of white marble. This and the need to make houses quickly leads to much more crude designs without the natural elegance found in the rest of the city. However, the slums are known for the most outlandish and varied décor.
