Cloudcross

## Description

The city of ***Cloudcross*** sits at the southernmost point of the Summergarde Dominion. A massive city which encompasses multiple miles worth of housing in the dock districts alone, it is known for the massive hundred-foot tall mesa with an archway built into it allowing ships to be lifted from The Teal Ocean to the Shimmering Cross Bay. Many people often talk about The Cloud Top and it's Bardic Colleges.

## Current Government

***Cloudcross*** follows the Summergarde Dominion's government of Hierarchy. As not only a governmental system but almost a view upon life from the classes of people in the higher points of the system the beliefs are well spread throughout the noble, demi-noble, craftsmen, and soldier classes of the city.

Within The Cloud Top, at The Court of Rule, the various nobles hold a sort of parliament. The Nobles within the council debate to the current governor of ***Cloudcross*** who holds near-absolute power over the city, unless Summergarde is in conflict with the decisions.

Currently, the governor of ***Cloudcross*** is a man known as Dimitrij Darklyn. He while being one of the humans on a primarily elvish council, is almost feared by the other nobles in the city.
