Flying City

Flying cities are settlements that are kept aloft through artificial means. The Dalmer created several of these settlements.
== Flight ==
The city buildings are kept aloft using lettuce particles, city buildings are able to move in all three dimensions and do so with some speed. Control of the particle is not perfect and has some limitations. Anything moving requires conventional engines to move, thrusters for maneuvering and balloons trimming them. This can be plainly seen in flying cities where separately floating buildings are powered with Lettuce Particles.
==History==
Following the difficulties the dalmer had to construct underground cities it was proposed that they consider aerial settlements. The first prototype was a house lifted by balloons. The event impressed deliberative instances so much that a flying city was commissioned. Following the invention of Lettuce Particles that could keep entire buildings aloft, the project went forth in earnest. An array of missile silos were constructed across the Empire to send people and supplies to and from the city. Storms eventually led to some buildings being led astray, creating the floating villages. 
===The floating village===
Used to be part of the floating city, they are still part of the floating city's personal warp network. This causes the warp pads to send their users send to areas in the sky that used to be reception centers. The same warpers inside structures can warp outside or to areas of the city that no longer exist or have crashed. The inhabitants use their aerial vehicles to move from one island to another, due to lack of trust in the warp network.
==Sky city adaptations==
=== Biology ===
The inhabitants have unique biology due to their lifestyle in the clouds. They have enlarged lungs and low stamina, are prone to motion sickness and air loss. The bitter cold that can reach -15 to -24°C is also an issue for the inhabitants of the flying city. Finally, their is also the constant risk of falling off the city. 
=== Stamina berry ===
To resolve this, some become addicted to the stamina berry that grows in the high altitudes orchards of the city. 
=== Glassheart ===
Some inhabitants undergo the glassheart procedure to adapt to the flying city's living conditions. This allows them to breathe and corrects their motion sickness permanently. 
=== Steam Cloud Generator ===
The people have to endure -15 to -24°C. This is mitigated by cloud generators that emit steam to hide the city from sight and keep the city relatively warm. 
===Antifall defensive fog===
Warps intruders away and keeps people within inside it. this was to prevent invasions and people falling off the city. The entire technology was supposedly created because its constructor hated guardrails.
