Act of De-Ara
The city in the skies, City Above All, those are just two other names Jevan was known as.
It was a capital city of an Aarakocran empire, high in the mountain tops of Summit of Power. It was a literal jewel, built in the diamond shape on the mountain side and the only way to access it was by flying or so everyone thought.
It was like a heavenly citadel on top of the world with golden feather carvings on white alabaster walls.
Jevan was a beautiful city, on each of 5 corners of the city was a glorious tower decorated with shining gems and with a roc's nest at the top.
As it is usual for the ruling and developed race's ruling class, they were expanding into other domains, they wanted to rule the skies, even though they were warned before that such act would bring their doom.
The City Above All's rulers did not care for prophesies or threats, they were establishing and passing laws for everyone else, not the other way around.
They were expanding their borders relentlessly on all sides with more or less no opposition, but when they tried to go further up, they were met with an assault from the storm and winds themselves.
Storms and lightnings struck the Aarakocran empire, once beautiful city turned into resembling diamond ruins.
Those who survived the onslaught spoke of thunders echoing laughter and booming ridicule.
New generations were born, but each passes down the tale and warning to never try to fly above the mountains tops.
Once great City Above All lies in ruin, there is always something or someone above.
